DENVER — A 2-month-old girl who was the subject of an Amber Alert on Wednesday has been found safe and both of her parents have been taken into custody, according to law enforcement.
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation issued an alert Wednesday afternoon for the girl, who they said was taken by her parents from a family member's home Tuesday evening in Pueblo West.
The Pueblo County Sheriff's Office said the baby had been living with a family member there "after the baby's mother issued disturbing statements and requested the family member take" the baby.
On Tuesday, the family member told deputies the baby's parents drove from Denver to visit the child. They got into an argument with the family member and left with the baby, deputies said. CBI said law enforcement believed the child was in danger.
The SUV associated with them, a forest green GMC Yukon XL with no license plates, was found abandoned Wednesday afternoon in Aurora, the Sheriff's Office said.
The Denver Police Department said around 8:15 p.m. Wednesday, officers saw a stolen SUV without a license plate in the area of East Colfax Avenue and Uinta Street. Police tried to pull the driver over, but he refused to stop. They tracked the SUV to the area of 67th Avenue and Fenton Street in Arvada, where the driver, later identified to be the girl's father, parked the SUV and ran away.
Police tracked the suspect to a home, where he went inside and hid, police said. They got permission from the owner to search the home, then found and arrested the suspect. Police said they didn't know he was wanted in connection with the Amber Alert until after they arrested him. He was also wanted on several outstanding warrants, police said.
Police said around 10:10 a.m. Thursday, they found the baby and her mother at a motel at East 39th Avenue and Peoria Street in Denver. The mother was arrested, and the baby was taken into protective custody.
The Sheriff's Office said both parents "were wanted on multiple warrants unrelated to this incident."
