Three boys who are missing from New Mexico could be headed to Southern California.

Authorities on Sunday issued an Amber Alert for Lloyd, Lakai and Lexington Wyatt of Albuquerque, New Mexico.

They believe the brothers — ages 9, 8 and 6, respectively — are with their mother, 28-year-old Laria Anderson. She could be driving them through Arizona to Southern California, where she has family.

The Amber Alert is in effect for five counties: San Bernardino, San Diego, Riverside, Los Angeles and Orange.

Anderson is believed to be driving her silver 2009 Kia Spectra with the license plate: AAYR8o.

Anderson has full custody of the boys and isn't facing criminal charges. But the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office in New Mexico says detectives became concerned for their safety after Anderson allegedly threatened the lives of her children and her own life during a fight with their father.

The boys were last seen early Sunday morning in Albuquerque.
