Levi's Call Issued for Florida Brothers

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has now issued a Levi's Call (Georgia's version of the Amber Alert) for two Florida brothers. Overhead highway signs and billboards across the state, along with radio and television announcements have gone out with the description of the boys, their parents and the suspect automobile.

The initial Amber Alert was issued on the behalf of Florida's Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office for Cole and Chase Hakken.

Cole is a white male. He is four-years-old, stands 3 feet, 9 inches tall, weighs 44 pounds, and has brown hair and brown eyes.

Chase is a two-year-old male, standing 3 feet tall, weighing about 33 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.

Both boys are believed to be with Joshua and Sharyn Hakken.
