Three-year-old Briant Rodriguez, who was kidnapped during a home invasion robbery nearly two weeks ago, may have been found in Mexico, authorities report.

The story began when two gunmen broke into his family's home, tied up his mother and her five children, robbed the house and left with Briant Rodriguez. Although an Amber Alert was sounded, there was no report of his whereabouts until today.

Detectives in San Bernardino County and the FBI received information from Mexican officials in the border town of Mexicali on Friday. Mexican authorities said that they had found a boy that could be Briant Rodriguez.

Unfortunately, identification of Briant Rodriguez is behing held up by red tape. Mexican officials have requested paperwork, his birth certificate, as well as several other documents to prove his identity. U.S. officials have said they believe the toddler is Briant, but have not yet seen him.

In fact, the boy's mother, Maria Rosalina Millan, flew to the neighboring city of Calexico to confirm his identity but Mexican officials are still asking for the necessary paperwork they say is required to complete an ID procedure in their country.
