Manhunt as 2-Week-Old Twin Boys Abducted: Police

Police in Michigan have issued an AMBER Alert on Monday after newborn twins were reportedly abducted by two women in Livonia.

The Michigan State Police (MSP) said the alert was issued by the Livonia Police Department on Monday after 2-week-old Montana Alexander Bridges and Matthew Jace Bridges were taken in the town just west of Detroit.

Newsweek reached out to the Livonia Police Department via email for comment.

In a post shared on X, formerly Twitter, an MSP spokesperson described the babies as male and African American. It is believed that both children were only wearing diapers when they were abducted.

The post said that the missing twins might be with two unidentified African American women who were driving a black Jeep Cherokee with chrome trim around the passenger windows. It is unclear if the women have any connection to the babies.

The black Jeep Cherokee was last seen near a Quality Inn located on Plymouth Road in Livonia, according to police. Photos of the suspects' vehicle were shared in the X thread, although it was unclear what the license plate number is from the grainy footage, and one was not provided.

In photos supplied by the MSP, the two women could be seen walking down a hallway together. One wore a gray hooded top, black trousers, and white or gray colored sneakers.

The second woman was holding her cell phone and was wearing a black hooded top or jacket with a hood, shorts and black sneakers. Both women pulled the strings on their hooded tops so their faces were obscured by the clothing.

Anyone with information regarding the abducted twins has been asked to contact the Livonia Police Department (LPD) at 734-466-2470 extension 2 or dial 911.

An AMBER Alert is a partnership between law enforcement and the media to help in the immediate dissemination of information to the public about an abducted child.

According to the Michigan state government: "AMBER Alerts are urgent bulletins issued utilizing the Emergency Alert System to interrupt radio and television broadcasting in the most serious child-abduction cases.

"The America's Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response (AMBER) Alert Program is a voluntary partnership between law-enforcement agencies, broadcasters, transportation agencies, and the wireless industry."
