An arrest warrant has been issued for Eduart Gomez Ochoa, 27, in connection with the alleged kidnapping and burglary, police said.

It isn't the first time Gomez Ochoa has been accused of breaking into a home in the city. Earlier this year, the Ramsey County Attorney's Office charged him with second-degree criminal sexual conduct and burglary. Prosecutors allege he broke into an apartment on the 1500 block of Westminster Street on May 7 and sexually assaulted a girl.

Booking photos released by police show Gomez Ochoa with long dark hair and a full beard.

Anyone who sees Gomez Ochoa or has information about where he might be is asked to call 911 immediately. Police warned residents not to approach or try to confront him.
