LUMBERTON, North Carolina -- The FBI and Lumberton Police Department are looking for 13-year-old Hania Noleia Aguilar after authorities said an unidentified man snatched her from her front yard Monday morning.



It happened just before 7 a.m. at Rosewood Mobile Home Park while she was waiting to go to school.



An Amber Alert was then issued for the girl around 10 a.m.

Witnesses said the man had a yellow bandana over his face, so they did not get a good look at him.



They said he grabbed Aguilar and forced her into a stolen green 2002 Ford Expedition with South Carolina tag NWS 984.



Aguilar is approximately 5 feet tall and 126 pounds. She has black hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a blue shirt with flowers and blue jeans.



"Our main concern right now is getting this young lady back to her family," Lumberton Police Department Chief Michael Mcneill said during a news conference.
