Police issued an urgent plea for the public's help in locating a homeless woman and a baby that she is accused of kidnapping on Monday evening in Columbus, Ohio. 

Nalah Jackson, 24, allegedly stole a 2010 Honda Accord that had two 5-month-old twins inside at a Donatos Pizza around 9:45 p.m. on Monday. 

The twins' mother was working as a DoorDash delivery driver at the time and had run inside the restaurant to pick up an order. 

"Employees at the Donatos stated a homeless female, Nalah Jackson, was in the restaurant and left when the victim walked in," Columbus police chief Elaine Bryant said.
