An alert was issued by the Montgomery County Department of Police on Wednesday about a purported kidnapping attempt the day before, when it was believed a 13-year-old girl was forced into a car in Germantown.
However, while investigating, police say that detectives determined that the report was not credible, and said there is no ongoing threat to the community or safety of children.
Original Story
An investigation has been launched after a teen girl was reportedly abducted by two men who forced her into a car in Montgomery County, police say.
Between 3 p.m. and 3:15 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 17, a 13-year-old girl was approached by two men in a dark grey sedan near the intersection of Waring Station Road and Stoney Bottom Road in Germantown, when they got out and forced her into their vehicle.
After driving around, the girl was able to get out of the car and run to the area of the 20000 block of Placid Lake Terrace, where she was located by an area resident who called the police.
The teen was taken by Montgomery County Fire and Rescue personnel to an area hospital for evaluation and a search for the kidnappers was launched.
Police described the suspects as being Hispanic and Black men. No other information was provided by the department.
The investigation into the incident is ongoing.
Anyone with information regarding the kidnapping or who may have seen anything suspicious on Tuesday afternoon has been asked to call detectives by calling (240) 773-5400.
