Nampa police investigate possible child abduction

The teen who reported the abduction said his little brother saw three adults in black clothes put a child in the back of a white van.

NAMPA, Idaho — UPDATE: Police said Monday evening that they have located a van matching the description of the suspect vehicle and that it was a delivery van. They are no longer looking for a white cargo-style van. The department still has not received any reports of missing children. KTVB has reached out to a Nampa police spokesperson for clarification on whether they're still investigating a possible child abduction. Check back for updates.

Original story:

The Nampa Police Department is investigating a possible child abduction that was reported at about 3 p.m. on the 600 block of Massachusetts Avenue.

Police say a teen called 911 and told dispatchers of a child abduction that his younger brother had witnessed. The teen said his brother saw a child being put in the back of a white van, with three "TRUMP 2020" stickers, one on the back and one on each side of the van.

The Nampa Police Department added that the teen "described [the child] as being 4-7 years old, brown hair with blond toward the bottom, blue shirt, light brown shorts. The child's bike was also taken and it is described as a red smaller bike with training wheels."

The teen also told police that three adults got out of the van, wearing all black with pull-over face masks, according to officials.

Nampa police have been investigating the incident since 3 p.m. and are working to identify the child. No missing children have been reported to Nampa police as of Monday evening.

If anyone has any information about the possible abduction, a hotline at 208-465-2203 has been set up. Police are expecting a large number of tips due to the general description of the child and said people can leave a voicemail if they don't get through. People are also urged to only call 911 with tips if they are witnessing something or if the information is urgent.
