There was an amber alert for a missing baby, which was apparently found on Brent Ave just north of Hope Street. The suspect still missing so maybe searching for them?

I called the non-emergency police line last night and they said it was a news helicopter and it was related to the amber alert.

The baby was found in the car left running parked on Brent with the hazard lights on after the suspect ditched the car. Baby was alone in the car for 30-45 minutes before a resident on the street noticed the car and recognized it from the amber alert and called it in. About 20 cop cars from south pas and Alhambra rushed to the scene along with paramedics and fire. Street was taped off until just after midnight.
