Amber alert issued after a masked man removed a 20-month-old baby from his home in Queensland

Queensland Police issued an Amber Alert to help locate a 20-month-old boy who was taken from a Brisbane home this morning.

Police said the young man was abducted by a man wearing a baseball cap and mask on a street in Darra, Brisbane at 4 a.m.

The boy was last seen wearing a black shirt and was still in diapers.

Police allege that the man who took the boy was wearing “distinctive running shoes” and had long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, gloves, and a baseball cap.

Officers released CCTV footage showing the man allegedly entering a house and picking up the boy before leaving.

In the photos, she was holding the boy, who had no shoes, on her hip.

Police are urging the man, or anyone with information related to his location, to contact the police.

An Amber Alert is issued in the most serious circumstances related to missing children, particularly in a kidnapping case or a high risk missing child case. It is designed to ask members of the public to help find the abducted child.
