A Florida man has been arrested after he was caught allegedly trying to abduct a four-year-old boy inside Walmart.

Pablo Pintueles Hernandez, 64, was charged with kidnapping and false imprisonment of a child after he was filmed allegedly grabbing the boy and trying to walk away with him at the store Lehigh Acres on December 29.

Lee County Sheriff's Deputies viewed the footage and said the stranger walked up to the four-year-old shopping with his family and grabbed his wrist.

Pintueles Hernandez allegedly stated 'let's go' and tried to pull him away before a family member intervened.

Cops worked with Real Time Intelligence Center Analysts to identify the suspect and arrested him in the early hours of the next day.

'What this criminal did is incredibly disturbing,' said Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno. 

'I never want anyone in Lee County to feel unsafe, especially going on a simple shopping trip. My team will stop at NOTHING to ensure criminals like this face the consequences of their actions.' 

According to the arrest report, the four-year-old boy was at the store with his mother and sister. His sister was the one who intervened and pulled the boy back.

The mother told police she was at the store with her children and she did not give anyone permission to speak or touch her children.

The report said Pintueles Hernandez and his wife Odalis Vaillant Leyva identified themselves in the surveillance footage.

The couple finished shopping and left the store in a car registered to Leyva, that cops used to track them down.

'Utilizing the latest and greatest technology is key to solving crimes quickly and efficiently,' said Marceno.

 'The teamwork displayed during this incident from our Communications, Patrol, Real Time Intelligence Center, and Major Crimes Unit is unmatched.'

Leyva told police her husband is outgoing and often jokes with children, calling them 'Papito,' which she has warned him not to do because people may not interpret them the same way.

In Spanish, Leyva told the victim her husband was joking and Pintueles Hernandez told police he had no intention of leaving with the child.

Pintueles Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to the charges. He was released from jail on $100,000 bond and his next court date is scheduled for January 29.
