SALISBURY — A woman reported to police her car was stolen with the keys in the ignition while she went inside a local apartment complex.

The 28-year-old woman told a Salisbury police officer on Tuesday she went to her sister’s residence at Laurel Pointe Apartment complex at 302 Laurel Pointe Circle, where she went inside to get her children, said police Capt. Melonie Thompson.
