The Hampton Police Division is seeking the public’s assistance in locating two children in connection with a parental abduction that occurred on Sunday.
At approximately 2:35 p.m., Public Safety Communications received a call in reference to a parental abduction that had just occurred at the Walmart located at 1900 Cunningham Drive. The preliminary investigation has revealed that the children’s guardian transported the two children, a 2-year-old male and 1-year-old female, and their father to Walmart.

The suspect, Timothy Truitt, is a 36-year-old white male, approximately 6’1”, 175 pounds, brown hair, blue eyes, last seen wearing a green hat, black shirt with yellow logo on left chest, gray shorts, white socks, and white shoes. He currently has a warrant on file for unauthorized use of a vehicle.
