Northridge kidnapping suspect Tobias Dustin Summers believed to be in Mexico

The principal suspect in the kidnapping and sexual assault of a 10-year-old Northridge girl was spotted in a video crossing to Mexico and Los Angeles officials said Friday they are working with Mexican authorities and the FBI to track him down.

Tobias Dustin Summers, 32, was seen on the video crossing a footbridge into Tecate, Mexico, Police Chief Charlie Beck said Friday.

Beck would not disclose the day the video was taken. He said officials are uncertain if Summers returned to the United States.

"We are working with the FBI and Mexican authorities to try to locate him," Beck said. "In the end, we believe it will be a citizen who turns him in. "

Beck said it was not known if he was still in Tecate or elsewhere in Mexico.

"We think he is holed up somewhere because he doesn't really blend in," Beck said.

Summers is the prime suspect in the kidnapping and sexual assault of the girl on March 27 in what was believed to have started as a burglary. The girl was released about 12 hours later in the Woodland Hills area with bruises.

She was believed to have been taken to an abandoned house where the attacks occurred.

"We have a problem with abandoned and foreclosed houses throughout the city because of the mortgage crisis," Beck said.

An accomplice, Daniel Martinez, 30, was arrested on Sunday. He has pleaded not guilty to kidnapping and burglary charges. Beck would not say what has linked the two men to the crime
