This morning, a 6-year old was kidnapped during a robbery. Police say Cole Puffinburger was taken after the robbers were unable to find any money in the home located near Hollywood and Lake Mead in Las Vegas. An Amber Alert has not been issued.
- Two men, who were described as Hispanic, knocked on the door of the residence around 7:15 a.m., claiming to be police officers. Once inside, they tied up the boy's mother and her male friend before rummaging through the home for money. When no money was found, the two men took the youngster.
Cole Puffinburger is described as
wearing a black John Cena sweatshirt, dark jeans, and black Vans tennis shoes. He has blond hair and blue eyes and was wearing silver-rimmed glasses. He is 3'11" tall and weighs around 48 pounds.
Police did not initially issue an Amber Alert, but as of my writing this, the alert was
issued.
Anyone with any information are asked to call 911.

[Update]
New information has been released regarding the kidnapping of Cole Puffinburger.
This morning, police say that there were
three robbers, who all carried guns. One of the three was Hispanic with a heavy accent. He is described as:
He has black, slicked back shoulder length hair. He's in his early 30's, stands about 5'7" and weighs about 150 pounds. He was last seen wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans.
Police also say that that they
believe the family was targeted by the suspects. Police heavily searched the area,
but Cole was gone.
After hearing about the home invasion and kidnapping, Cole's father came to the scene, and was wrought with emotion.
Again, police are asking that if anyone has any information, to please call 911.
