Police in Merced County in central California are searching for four family members, including an 8-month-old baby, whom they say were kidnapped from a local business by a suspect authorities consider armed and dangerous.<\/p>\n
The Merced County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release on Oct. 3 that authorities are seeking help in locating 8-month-old Aroohi Dheri, her mother, Jasleen Kaur, 27, and father, Jasdeep Singh, 36, as well as the baby’s uncle, Amandeep Singh, 39, who were kidnapped from a business in the South Merced area.<\/p>\n
In a follow-up on Monday night, police released a photo of the man they believe to be the suspect in the kidnapping.<\/p>\n
The man is described as a light-complexioned male with a shaved head, who was last seen wearing a hoodie. Police consider him to be armed and dangerous.<\/p>\n
Authorities cautioned anyone who sees him to not approach him or the kidnapping victims and to call 911.<\/p>\n
The motive behind the kidnapping is unknown, and no contact or ransom demands have been made by the suspect, Merced County Sheriff Vern Warnke said in a video message on Monday night.<\/p>\n
“We’ve got to bring this family home safely,” Warnke said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
