and assist and bring in all the resources to bare. these agents drop everything and this becomes number one priority. >> reporter: while police haven't released a motive in the case, they do believe it was a kidnapping planned well in advance. they say the man seen carrying the baby away from the scene brought the carrier with him. in san jose, katie nielsen, kpix 5. >> and after yesterday's abduction, neighbors say they were badly shaken and are thankful that boy has been found. >> when they said the baby was taken, it was hard for me because i have a lot of grand children and great grand children. >> our morning team will have the latest out of san jose tomorrow starting at 4:30. let's give you a live look from oakland where tomorrow a federal judge could decide to end oversight of the police department. opd has been under federal scrutiny since 2003 after a lawsuit accused officers of
