Girl Abducted at Bus Stop

A 10-year-old Engleside-area girl was abducted at a bus stop Saturday, March 17 around 8:30 a.m. on Route 1 near Frye Road. The man first asked the girl if she wanted a ride, then implied he had a weapon and pulled her into his van. He drove about 1½ miles before stopping the van and exposing himself to her. He let her out at Fordson Road and drove away. The victim was not injured.

The suspect was described as a Hispanic man about 35-45 years old, 5 feet 8 to 5 feet 9 inches tall with black hair. He wore a navy blue shirt and blue jeans. He drove a white van.
