Authorities are searching for a 3-year-old U.S. citizen abducted last month from a church yard in Port-au-Prince.

Police say Grady Mardy was taken while playing outside a Latter-day Saints church in the neighborhood of Carrefour on Dec. 6.

Anti-kidnapping investigator Francois Dossous of the Haitian National Police says two men took him from the yard and sped off on a motorcycle before bystanders could react.

He says FBI agents were called in to help with the search. An FBI spokeswoman had no immediate information.

The U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince declined to comment on the case.

Kidnappings have declined in Haiti after years at epidemic levels. They tend to spike before Christmas as abductors seek ransoms to buy presents.
