Two Fall River men arrested in connection with incident triggering Amber Alert

Previous story:

The Massachusetts State Police are activating an AMBER Alert for a male infant who has been kidnapped from his home in Dartmouth by his mother’s former boyfriend, who was armed with a knife. The child’s mother is also believed to be with the suspect and the infant and is also considered to be a kidnapping victim at this time.

The suspect is 21-year-old Jeremias R. Cabral, 21, of Fall River.

The child is identified as Grayson Benson, six months old. His mother is identified as Hannah Benson, 23. It is believed that Hannah Benson entered the suspect’s vehicle out of concern for her baby before it fled the scene of the abduction. It is unclear at this time if Jeremias Cabral is the child’s father.

Jeremias Cabral, Hannah Benson, and the baby were in a dark colored (black or dark blue) Mitsubishi Lancer sedan bearing Massachusetts license plate 2LPT35.

Vehicle in question

Preliminary investigation indicates that Jeremias Cabral forced his way into the victims’ apartment at 1143 Tucker Rd., Dartmouth today at approximately 11:20 AM. During an altercation, Cabral brandished a knife and took Grayson Benson and fled the apartment and entered the Mitsubishi, according to the investigation. Out of fear for the child’s safety, Hannah Benson followed Cabral and the baby and entered the car herself before Cabral drove away.
