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.
Las Vegas - 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.
