The 3-month-old California baby, whose abduction was captured on surveillance footage on Monday, has been found safe, local authorities reported.
San Jose Police reported that three suspects were being held in custody in relation to the kidnapping of Brandon Cuellar.
On Monday afternoon, while the boy’s grandmother was putting away groceries, an unknown man entered the San Jose apartment and stole the infant from his home.
Video surveillance footage was later released of the man brazenly walking down the sidewalk with the black baby carrier and white blanket in tow.
Police said that the child had been taken to a local hospital for observation out of precaution.
“A million thank you’s to all who assisted,” police said in a tweet.
“We have some of the finest detectives in the nation,” the force added in a separate tweet. “Nobody went home yesterday. In less than 24 hours he was located, and three suspects are being held.”
A press conference is scheduled to be held with the San Jose police on Tuesday afternoon at the police headquarters where Chief Anthony Mata is expected to provide an update on the case of the child’s abduction.
