Officials in Central California’s Merced County are looking for four family members who they say were abducted from a local business on Monday morning. The search is on for their kidnapper.
The sheriff’s office says detectives are trying to find 8-month-old Aarohi Dheri, her mother, 27-year-old Jasleen Kaur, her father, 36-year-old Jasdeep Singh and her 39-year-old uncle Amandeep Singh. ,

The reason for the kidnapping could not be ascertained.
In a video released Monday night, Sheriff Vernon Warneke called on the public for help.
“There has been no contact and no ransom demand. There is nothing suspicious,” Warneke said.
“We need your help. We’ve sent spies to preach. We’ve pulled out the planes looking for evidence. People are going to work on it 24 hours a day until we get a break in it.”
“We’re asking for your help. We need your help. And we need to get this family home safely.”
Warneke also released photos of the potential suspect:
