PGPD Searching for Suspects in Attempted Child Abduction

Prince George’s County Police Department is searching for two suspects who reportedly attempted to abduct an 8-year-old.

Officers were called to the 2900 block of Brinkley Road in Temple Hills around 7 a.m. on Thursday for reports of an attempted abduction, according to a news release.

The victim told officers a man driving a light colored, possibly gray, car stopped the vehicle in front of him as he was walking to his bus stop. The suspect reportedly got out of the car and pointed a gun at the child while a woman got out of the passenger seat and told the child to get into the car.

The child said he began to run, and the suspects drove away. The victim reported the incident when he arrived at school.

Police believe the suspects to be a black male and black female, both between the ages of 20 and 30.

Anyone with information on the identity of these suspects is urged to call the Regional Investigation Division - Southern at 301-749-5064. Callers wishing to remain anonymous may call CRIME SOLVERS at 1-866-411-TIPS (8477), text “PGPD plus your message” to CRIMES (274637) on your cell phone or go to www.pgcrimesolvers.com and submit a tip online.
