中国警方在周二宣布，一名男子被指控盗窃车辆，并将车后座中的婴儿掐死并遗弃在雪地中。

Zhou Xijun, 48, surrendered about 5 p.m. Tuesday, Xinhua, the official government news agency, reported. The Public Security Department in Jilin province in northeastern China announced the arrest and Zhou's alleged confession on the Chinese equivalent of Twitter.

根据官方媒体新华社报道，48岁的周喜军于周二下午5点向警方自首。吉林省公安机关在新浪微博上宣布，周已被逮捕并且供认了犯罪事实。

Police said the baby's body was still missing.

警方称仍未找到婴儿的尸体。

The car, a Toyota RAV 4, was stolen Monday evening from a supermarket owner in Changchun, the provincial capital, police said. The owner said he drove to the store and left his car with the engine running and the baby inside while he made a quick stop to turn on a stove.

警方称被盗车辆是一辆丰田RAV4，周一晚在吉林省的省会长春市遭窃，失主是长春的一家超市老板。车辆失主说他将车开到超市前，离开了车去超市生火，但离开时引擎并未熄火。

The baby's family pleaded on local traffic broadcasts for the return of the child, saying they would not prosecute for car theft.
