PATERSON, N.J. (WABC) – There is an Amber Alert for a two-year-old boy in New Jersey.

According to police, Zander Abad was last seen in a vehicle on Piercy Street in Paterson.

Zander is said to have been kidnapped by Junior Nunez, who is apparently his mother’s ex-boyfriend.

He was driving a black 2012 Acura MDX with New Jersey license plate Y78SYU.

Authorities have reason to believe he was on his way to New York City.

The Amber Alert, sent at about 1:36 a.m., awakened many people in North Jersey. It was sent a second time at 1:45 a.m. and a third time at about 2 a.m.

It is rare for an Amber Alert to be issued so often.

If you see Abad, Nunez or the vehicle, you are asked to call police immediately.
