Austin, TX — The search is on for four suspects accused of snatching a 5-year-old boy out of his family’s car while his mother and sister sat inches away in Northeast Austin about 7:45 a.m. Thursday.
Adrian Jaimes has black hair and brown eyes. He is about 4 feet tall and weighs 50 pounds. He was kidnapped from the driveway of his home in the 11800 block of Shropshire Blvd.
Adrian was sitting in the car with his mom and his sister, ready to head off to school when he was abducted.
Police said two Hispanic men, possibly in their late teens, ran up to the vehicle, pulled Adrian out of the car, put him in their gray or silver Volkswagen Jetta with two other men of the same description, and sped away.
Adrian’s mother jumped from her vehicle to try to chase them on foot. She saw one of the suspects holding her son down on the front floorboard of the passenger seat in the Jetta.
An Amber Alert is in effect for Adrian, who was last seen wearing a green jacket, black T-shirt and dark blue pants.
Police said the suspects were strangers, but they do not think the act was random.
The three suspects were last seen wearing white-hooded sweatshirts with orange flames and driving a four-door Jetta with dark-tinted windows.
Adrian is in kindergarten at Copperfield Elementary in the Pflugerville Independent School District. Two police cars are on campus, and officers said they are interviewing students and teachers.
“Teachers are cooperating with police’s efforts to gather whatever information the students might have,” said Amanda Brim, community relations coordinator with PISD.
The police department is on ground and in the air, looking for the vehicle and the suspects. Police said they are following every lead after receiving at least 30 calls with tips on the vehicle’s location and the men’s identities.
Officials with the Texas Department of Public Safety said road signs between Austin and the border have been activated with information about the kidnapping, including a description of the car. See the Amber Alert issued by DPS, which has descriptions of Adrian and the suspects.
If you have seen a child matching Adrian’s description, call the Austin Police Department at (512) 974-5210.
School Notified APD, Parents Of Suspicious Behavior PISD has confirmed school officials contacted APD on Jan. 23 in efforts to keep Adrian and his sister, Zuleina, safe.
Copperfield Elementary School principal Sandra Bell was notified that Zuleina and Adrian were harassed on the way home from school by a group of men on Jan. 22.
The children came to school the next day and notified staff, who called police to report the incident and spoke with the Jaimes family.
Bell said she recommended the family start driving their children to school. The children previously walked to and from the campus, which is about a mile away from their house.
Zuleina told KXAN Austin News one of the men that harassed her on her way home from school on Jan. 22 was her brother’s abductor.
Bell said she believed her staff took the proper procedures to notify police and the family.
Windows handheld device fights wars on terror, drugs
"It can't tell you if there is a bomb on the kitchen table, but it can tell you if someone built a bomb on that kitchen table," he said.
That's useful as terrorists and insurgents continue to learn to bypass conventional threat detectors. For instance, explosives used in the 2005 London bombings carried out by Islamic terrorist groups used "chemicals that produced no vapor" so that neither "sniffer device nor dog" could detect them, Clift said.
Home Depot seeks to delay cargo security measure
Atlanta-based Home Depot and fellow "big box" chain stores have targeted donations to key lawmakers and stepped up lobbying efforts amid industry resistance to a law mandating 100 percent security scanning for imported cargo.
The new measure - recommended by the commission that examined the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks - requires that every cargo container be scanned for radiation or nuclear hazards before being shipped to the United States.
Business groups, who argue that importers are doing enough to improve cargo security already, are seeking to delay its implementation, which is slated for July of 2012.
"It is not a smart way to conduct cargo security" by checking every container, said Jason Conley, homeland security policy chief for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Foreign seaports would have to buy costly scanning equipment and America's trading partners could retaliate against U.S. exports, he said.
At the retail giants, including Wal-Mart, Target, Home Depot, Best Buy and Circuit City, corporate political action committees have focused campaign dollars on Republican members of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, a study of campaign filings by Congressional Quarterly found.
