UPDATE: The amber alert has been canceled.

A New York Amber Alert has been issued for 12-year-old Malaya Johnson after she was allegedly abducted from Hudson Falls in Washington County, local officials say. Anyone with information is urged to call 911 immediately.

The incident happened at about 3 p.m. ET on Wednesday when Malaya was allegedly taken near Oak Street in Hudson Falls, according to the amber alert. Specific details about the circumstances of the abduction were not immediately released.

The identity of the suspects are unknown, but they are described as two Hispanic males. They are believed to have taken the child in a red 2-door sedan Ford Mustang with an unknown license plate.

“The child was taken under circumstances that lead police to believe that she is in imminent danger of serious physical injury and/or death,” the amber alert said, providing no further details.

A photo of Malaya has not been released, but she’s described as a 12-year-old black female with long brown hair and brown eyes, standing 5 feet tall and weighing 115 pounds. She was last seen wearing light red jeans, and a white tank top. She was also carrying a light-colored backpack with a design.

Anyone who sees the suspect or the victim is urged to call 911 immediately, or call the Washington County Sheriffs Office at (866) NYS-AMBER if you have any other information that could help investigators in their search.
