Bail set at $100K for alleged Pittsburg kidnapper

A 24-year-old woman accused of stealing an SUV with a toddler strapped inside in Pittsburg last week will remain in bars unless she posts $100,000 for bail, a judge decided. 

Nataly Ayala remains in the Martinez Detention Center awaiting her first court appearance for the alleged carjacking.

Pittsburg police claimed that she jumped into a running Chevy Tahoe outside an auto body shop on Thursday and drove off with a 1-year-old girl in a car seat.

The toddler was found safe a short time later after the SUV was found abandoned at a nearby apartment complex. 

The abduction had triggered an Amber Alert.
