They are urging the father, Garry Gordon, 25, to come forward to the police.
Gordon is described as 6’4” tall (193cm), 140kg, short curly red hair, wearing a dark-coloured hoody. He may be driving a 2001 white Mitsubishi Solaris, YBR67P with a possible intent to leave the ACT.
Anyone who may see Gordon are advised not to approach him, but call the police immediately on 131 444.
UPDATE:
Police do not believe this to be an abduction any longer, it is now viewed as a check welfare.
The baby was not in the care of his father at the time but being cared for by relatives. The removal of the child is out of character for the father, Garry Gordon, and police hold concerns for the welfare of the father and the baby. Police need to speak to Garry urgently to check on his welfare and that of his child. Garry is urged to contact police at the earliest opportunity.
Superintendent Brett Kidner said “The safety of the baby is our first priority. Garry, we urge you to contact us as soon as you can so that we know you and your baby are alright.”
FURTHER UPDATE:
This in from ACT Policing:
The father, Garry Gordon, has been located in Canberra safe and well. He is now assisting police with their enquiries.
