The Vancouver Police Department has issued an Amber Alert for a 3-year-old boy last seen in Vancouver. The child was abducted at 10:40am today in East Vancouver and is believed to be in “imminent danger”.
The missing boy’s name is Theodore Lim. The child is 2 feet tall, weighs 35 lbs, and has short, dark hair. He was last seen wearing a grey striped t-shirt, grey pants, and black shoes with white soles.
“Investigators believe Theodore was abducted by his father, Davis Lim, from outside the West Coast Family Centre on East Broadway at Kaslo Street,” said the VPD in a release. “They were last seen running west on Broadway from Kaslo Street around 10:40 a.m.”
Investigators say Theodore is also without a piece of his ventilator that he crucially needs.
“Theodore has a medical condition and requires a ventilator, but he is currently without a piece of the ventilator and may go into medical distress. The ventilator is a 12×12-inch black box with an apparatus that attaches to Theodore’s face.”
Theodore is believed to be with his father and two female siblings, aged 8 and 11. Davis Lim is described as an Asian man, with black hair and brown eyes. He is approximately 5’9” tall and weighs 150 pounds. He was last seen wearing a green t-shirt, black pants, and black shoes.
