An 8-month-old girl allegedly kidnapped by her parents Sunday afternoon was recovered after a standoff with police in Panther Valley, north of Reno.
According to the Washoe County Sheriff's Office, the infant's parents allegedly forced entry into the Sun Valley home of the custodial grandmother just before 5:20 p.m. Sunday, and the baby was taken by force.
An Amber Alert was issued at about 10:45 p.m. Sunday for 8-month-old Adriana L. Brooks.
A resident heard the alert, saw a teal Acura Integra and called police while following the car northbound on Panther Drive in Panther Valley until it turned into a trailer park on Ranger Road. Deputies surrounded the park and made contact with the owners of the trailer believed to be holding the children.
According to police, just after midnight, the parents saw officers and barricaded themselves in the trailer.
After about 30 minutes of discussion, the parents surrendered and were taken into custody.
