Police Searching For Child Abducted From Driveway

AUSTIN (AP) – Police are looking for a 5-year-old boy who was abducted from his driveway as his family was getting into the car.

Authorities issued an Amber Alert on Thursday for Adrian Jaimes, who police said was snatched by three Hispanic male suspects wearing white hooded sweat shirts.

The suspects were driving a gray Volkswagon Jetta with dark tinted windows. Jaimes is described as Hispanic with black hair and brown eyes. He is 4-feet tall and weighs about 50 pounds.

He was last seen wearing a green jacket, a black T-shirt and dark blue jeans. Police say the family was getting into their car when the suspects drove up and one of them jumped out of the car and grabbed the boy.

Police say preliminary indications suggest the suspects are strangers to the boy, who struggled with his abductor. His mother tried to get him out of the suspects’ car but the doors were locked.
