The Massachusetts State Police have located a 3-year-old child soon after issuing an AMBER Alert for him.

“Officers have located LIAM DAVID PAGAN at a hotel in Windsor, Conn. He is safe. Suspect is outstanding. AMBER Alert is deactivated,” the MSP tweeted at 10:42 a.m.

At 10:48 a.m., the agency confirmed that they had found the suspected car thief and abductor at an Any Time Fitness on Kennedy Road in Windsor.

“Investigation indicates he dropped the child off at the Rodeway Inn and then drove to the shopping plaza where he left the car. Hotel employees contacted police,” the agency wrote.

The MSP had issued the AMBER Alert reporting the abduction of 3-year-old Pagan just before 10:30 a.m., with this reporter receiving the alert at 10:28 a.m.

Background: Massachusetts residents received an AMBER Alert this morning asking them to be on the lookout for a late-model Toyota Camry that authorities say was stolen while a child was inside.

Authorities say that a male suspect believed to be between 50 and 60 years old stole a red 2021 Toyota Camry before 9 a.m. Friday on Exchange Street in Chicopee. The man could be wearing black Crocs and black pants.

A 3-year-old autistic child was seated inside of the car when it was stolen. The child was last seen wearing a green Easter shirt featuring a dinosaur and some eggs.

This is a developing story.
