Amarillo police seeking public's help in possible child abduction
The Amarillo Police Department is asking for any video of photos of a child or van seen during a possible abduction in the 1200 block of South Roberts on Thursday night.
Police were still working to identify the child and locate the suspect vehicle in this incident early Friday.
Police are asking for any help that might assist them in identifying the child who was possibly abducted from the area of Southeast 13th Avenue and South Roberts Street around 6:50 p.m. Thursday.
The child is described as a light skinned girl, approximately age 5 years old, with long blond hair. She was seen wearing a pink dress with black shorts showing underneath.
The possible suspect vehicle is a white van with dark tinted windows and paper over the back.
"If you have any kind of outdoor cameras or doorbell cameras, please check and see if you might have caught either of these on your video last night. If you do, please contact the Amarillo Police dispatch at 806-378-3038 option 2 or email Carla.burr@amarillo.gov," a release states.

Anyone who is missing a child matching that description is also asked to call the police at 378-3038.
