LANCASTER, Calif. (KABC) -- A mother and her 2-month-old baby who were allegedly abducted in Lancaster have been found safe, authorities announced.



According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, U.S. Customs and Border Protection found 32-year-old Sabrina Sanchez and her daughter Itzel Monday afternoon.



Efrain Sanchez Jimenez, the woman's husband and Itzel's father, remains at large.



He's considered to be armed and dangerous, according to the California Highway Patrol.



The 25-year-old father is believed to be driving a 2007 Silver Buick with the Colorado license plate number AUI-X94.





The suspect has made recent threats to murder his wife and child, according to LASD.



Authorities believe the victims left with him "out of duress and fear for their safety" after he previously committed a sexual assault on a family member.
