An Amber Alert was issued Monday for a 13-year-old girl who was abducted outside her home in North Carolina, authorities said. The Lumberton Police Department said Hania Noleia Aguilar was kidnapped around 7 a.m. in the Rosewood Mobile Home Park.

Aguilar grabbed her aunt's keys to start her aunt's SUV before heading to school. A family member told police an unknown male wearing a yellow bandana over his face forced Aguilar into the vehicle and stole it while she was still inside.

Police described the SUV as a green 2002 Ford Expedition with paint peeling from the hood and a Clemson sticker on the rear window. It has a South Carolina license plate that reads: NWS-984.
