"She complied," Vega explained, adding that the woman was not harmed.

Vega later said that police found the Infiniti at NW 17th Avenue and NW 68th Terrace

"They located the vehicle and just waited for it to get occupied," he said.

The victim told Local 10 that her attackers were so young they appeared to be struggling with how to operate the car.

"It was a delay because they didn't know how to drive," she said. "It took him at least two minutes to pull out."

Vega said police are still looking for the third suspect.
