AMBER ALERT INFORMATION
LVMPD earlier this morning reported that a 6-year-old boy was kidnapped this morning from a home near Hollywood and Lake Mead during a robbery around 7:15 a.m.
Police say two men, described as Hispanic, took Cole Puffinburger. The boy was 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.
According to police, the two suspects knocked on the door and indicated they were police however once inside they tied up the boy's mother and her male friend and began looking for money in the home. Police say they took the boy when no money was found.
The reason why there was a delay in the AMBER Alert activation was that LVMPD did not have a reliable vehicle or suspect description, however, they have now given us a description of one of the three Hispanic males who are now suspects.
All three suspects speak with an Hispanic accent. One of the suspects have black shoulder length hair slicked back, in his early 30's, 5'7" and 150 pounds. Last seen wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans.
10.18.08: UPDATE: Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) is looking for another "PERSON OF INTEREST" in the Cole Puffinburger case, Jesus Gastelum. Investigators want to talk with Gastelum about the abduction. In a news conference this afternoon, LVMPD officials said they were thankful for the assistance of the media in the AMBER Alert issued earlier this week. They say the AMBER Alert has "run it course" and now they are looking for information that will lead them to the child.
