LOS ANGELES (CNS) — An Amber Alert was in effect Wednesday after reports of a 9-month-old girl being abducted in the Westlake district of Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Nylah Austin was last seen Monday with suspect 29-year-old Kennisha Austin, according to the California Highway Patrol, which activated the alert on behalf of the Torrance Police Department.<\/p>\n

Nylah Austin was described as an 18-inch-tall baby girl weighing 15 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. Kennisha Austin was identified as a 5-foot-tall woman weighing 100 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.<\/p>\n

The relationship between Nylah and Austin was not immediately disclosed publicly.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information regarding Nylah Austin or Kennisha Austin’s whereabouts was urged to call 911.<\/p>\n

The AMBER Alert system is part of a nationwide plan that brings together law enforcement agencies and media broadcasters to help quickly alert the public when a child is abducted. The program relies on technology and partnerships to help locate missing children and support their safe recovery.<\/p>\n
