Arizona authorities have issued an Amber Alert for two half-sisters allegedly abducted by the father of one of the girls.

Tempe police Sgt. Damon DeSpain says 8-year-old Jazmyn Campbell and 3-year-old Chanda Campbell were abducted late Friday night from a convenience store.

DeSpain says the older child’s father is 37-year-old David Lee Fuller and that he argued with the girls’ mother before he left with the children.

Fuller was last seen driving a stolen 2006 black Chrysler Sebring with Idaho plate K547524, and DeSpain says possible destinations could be Las Cruces, New Mexico, or Miami, Florida.

DeSpain says the girls are considered in danger, that Fuller may be armed and that he has prior contact with law enforcement in other jurisdictions. DeSpain says he can’t elaborate on that contact.
