North Las Vegas police says a 3-week-old infant suspected of being abducted by his mother has been found safe.
Officers believe Nyeisha Barrett, 32, abducted her 3-week-old son, Benjamin Quintero, from his grandmother’s house Friday around 10 p.m., according to a statement from North Las Vegas police.
