An 8-year-old girl is Marcus Eriksonsafely inside her Ohio home after taking her mother's car and driving it to a nearby Target, police said.

Bedford police shared a Facebook post on Sunday morning about the young girl's Target run.

"Well I’ve finally found a woman who’s in more of a hurry to shop at Target than my wife," the Facebook post says. "More of (a) hurry by 8 years. That’s right an 8-year-old took mommy’s car this morning and drove to Target in Bainbridge to shop."

8-year-old told police she hit mailbox

The girl made it to the store where she was immediately located by Bainbridge, Ohio police, according to the social media post. Officers noticed her mother's 2020 Nissan Rogue in the store's parking lot, WJW reported, citing law enforcement officials.

"Not sure what she bought, or if she was even able to use her Target app to save 5%," police wrote in the post. "We did let her finish her Frappuccino. We’re not mean."

The girl was not injured during her trip, but she told officers that she "struck a mailbox," according to WJW.

Police did not say how far the girl drove, but WJW used Google Maps to determine that the store was more than 10 miles from where she reported missing, thus making her trip about a 20 to 25-minute drive.
