Two boys taken from an Oceanside home, allegedly by one’s father after a domestic violence incident with their mother, were found safe in Long Beach Tuesday.
The missing boys, 9-year-old Daijon West Jr. and 10-year-old Jamel Oliver, were taken from the 2300 block of Greenbrier Drive at about 4:10 p.m. Monday, according to Oceanside Police.
The boys were located about 4:45 a.m. at the Colonial Motel Long Beach in the 800 block of East Pacific Coast Highway, just east of Atlantic Avenue, authorities said.
Daijon West — the father of the 9-year-old — allegedly injured his wife and made criminal threats against her before fleeing with the boys in a gray 2010 Honda Accord.
Long Beach Police said West was arrested at the motel where the children were found.
Jamel is the woman’s son from a previous relationship, according to news reports.
Neither boy was injured, police said.
