Police search for teens suspected of abducting Orleans County infant

New York State Police
(l to r) Natalie R. Huntington, Alyssa M. Bel and Kevin A. Huntington Jr.

The Orleans County Sheriff Office activated the New York State AMBER Alert Wednesday, as it investigates a suspected child abduction.

An alert was sent to area cell phones at around 2:39 p.m. for the abduction that occurred at 4287 Manning Rd. in Holley at about 8 a.m. The alert was canceled about an hour later, when 2-month-old Natalie R. Huntington was found safe with family.

Police are searching for two suspects. Kevin A. Huntington Jr., 16, and Alyssa M. Bel, 15. Huntington is  described as 5'7', 150 lbs., with blue eyes and blonde hair. Bel is described as 5'1', 126 lbs., with  brown eyes and blonde/orange hair.

The child was taken under circumstances that lead police to believe they are in imminent danger of serious harm and/or death. Anyone with any information on this case is asked to call the Orleans County Sheriff Office at (866) NYS-AMBER or dial 911.
