The amber alert system was activated yesterday for a 5 year old Albany boy who was abducted by 2 men wearing masks.

According to NBC 4, the two men forced their way into the boys home while he was being looked after by a 19 year old relative at about 1:30 yesterday. The men and the boy then took off in a large black pick up truck, which activated the Amber alert system.

After a search of the surrounding areas the Albany county Sheriff's office have reported that the body of the boy, Kenneth White, was found by a police dog late Thursday near the mobile home from which he was abducted.

Just a tragic story. No arrests have been made as of today.
