Amber Alert Canceled After 3-Month-Old Baby Found Safe in Stolen Car The California Highway Patrol deactivated an Amber Alert on Friday, May 22, 2026, after a 3-month-old boy was located unharmed inside a stolen vehicle in Alhambra. The alert, initially issued following a reported carjacking, was activated around 7 p.m. after authorities received a call about a possible abduction near Hampden Terrace and Sherwood Avenue. The incident unfolded when the child’s mother left her black Honda Civic running with her infant in the backseat while she entered a nearby house for an unspecified duration. Upon returning, she discovered the car had been stolen, prompting police to investigate. Authorities described the suspect as a man in his 30s, approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall, with black hair, brown eyes, and clothing including a black shirt, blue or black pants, and a black backpack. The suspect, believed to be unrelated to the family, allegedly drove away with the child inside the vehicle. Police emphasized that the kidnapping appeared to be random, with no indication the perpetrator was aware of the baby’s presence at the time. The search for the suspect intensified after South Pasadena police reported the Honda Civic was spotted on Brent Avenue around 7:30 p.m. The car was found running with the air conditioning on, and the child was inside, safe and unharmed. Medics assessed the infant and reunited him with his family shortly after. Despite the successful resolution, the alleged kidnapper remains at large. Alhambra police urged residents in the area to review security camera footage for any evidence of the incident or the suspect. Investigators continue to gather information, and the case remains under active review.#california_highway_patrol #alhambra #hampden_terracesherwood_avenue #south_pasadena #brent_avenue
