An Amber Alert was issued on Wednesday for Cole Puffinburger, a six-year-old boy from Las Vegas, Nevada who was kidnapped. The search has now been broadened to include southern California as well as New Mexico.
The alert was issued after, according to police, two robbers tied up the boy’s mother and fiance and took the boy.
Puffinburger is described as 3’11" tall and 48 pounds with blue eyes and blond hair. A photo is available at the Associated Press website.
The men posing as police are said to be Hispanic and authorities believe there was a third man involved. Further, one of the suspects was described as having black, shoulder-length, slicked-back hair. The man, believed to be in his early 30s, is about 5’7" tall and is estimated as 150 pounds and was last seen wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans. There is currently no description of the other two men or their vehicle.
If you believe you’ve seen Puffinburger, please contact Las Vegas Police Department’s missing persons detail immediately.
