Man Arrested for Burglary and Attempted Abduction of a Child

West Springfield Police District – A man has been arrested after entering a home late at night and attempting to abduct a sleeping child.

Detectives from our Major Crimes Bureau arrested Hyrum Baquedano Rodriguez, 24, for the burglary of an occupied dwelling and attempted abduction of a juvenile. 

At 4 a.m. on June 15, police responded to an apartment in the 7500 block of Little River Turnpike for a burglary and attempted abduction of a 4-year-old child. The mother was awoken to the sound of window blinds shaking and the sound of her daughter crying. She discovered the window in the living room was open and child on the floor. The child immediately told her mother someone had grabbed her. Officers immediately searched the area but did not locate the suspect.

A fingerprint was recovered from the scene that led detectives to identify Rodriguez as the offender. On June 16, officers saw Rodriguez and took him into custody. Rodriguez is being held with no bond.
