An 11-year-old boy and his mother were found Saturday night after they were allegedly abducted in northwest Atlanta earlier in the day.
A Levi’s Call, Georgia’s version of an Amber Alert, was issued late Saturday afternoon for Pierre Lubin. Authorities said the boy and his 38-year-old mother, Kerline Lubin, were taken hostage at their home. Kerline Lubin’s ex-boyfriend and another man were seen forcing her and her son into a black 2016 Jeep Compass around 11 a.m., according to a police bulletin.
The alleged abduction happened outside the Lubins’ home in the 1600 block of Abner Terrace. Police were called to the residence in the Carver Hills neighborhood around 12:45 p.m., a police spokesperson said.
Police identified one of the suspects as 37-year-old Leonard Cross, though police have not said whether he has been arrested.
