A California county sheriff is asking for the public’s help in finding four people, including an infant, who were kidnapped from family businesses on Monday.
The family members were taken by a man who was “armed and dangerous,” according to the sheriff.
The infant, 8-month-old Aroohi Dheri, and parents Jasleen Kaur, 27, and Jasdeep Singh, 36, “were taken against their will from a business” on South Highway 59 in Merced County in California, the sheriff’s office there said in a statement Monday evening.

The statement included a description of the man believed to have kidnapped the family. He was described as having a shaved head and wearing a hoodie and a surgical mask.
“We consider the suspect to be armed and dangerous,” the statement read. “If you see this person, please call 911 and do not approach him or the victims.”
