LAS VEGAS -- Two men pretending to be police officers kidnapped a 6-year-old Wednesday morning, in what appears to be a random crime, according to Jay Rivera of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

Rivera said at about 7:15 a.m. two Hispanic men knocked on the door of a residence at 6800 Cherry Grove Ave.

He said when the family opened the door, the men invaded the home, tied up the boy’s mother and her male friend and started looking for money.

After they did not find any money, they took the family’s 6-year-old son, Cole Puffinburger, at gunpoint, Rivera said.

An Amber Alert has been issued for Puffinburger.

Rivera said Puffinburger is 3 feet 11 inches tall and weighs approximately 48 pounds. He has blond hair, blue eyes, distinctly stained front teeth, an overbite and wears prescription, silver-rimmed glasses. He was last seen wearing a black, zip-up, hooded sweatshirt with white, black and blue stars on it; a black John Cena WWE wrestling shirt; dark jeans; a belt; white socks and black Vans sneakers.

The men are described as having Hispanic accents. One man is described as in his early 30s, 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing 150 pounds. He has black, shoulder-length, slicked back hair. He was last seen wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans, Rivera said.
