Overview
- Police say a 16-year-old was taken at gunpoint near a Hamtramck bus stop Monday morning and was found safe about 30 minutes later.
- Students who witnessed the abduction used social media and the girl’s phone data to help officers track the car to a Sunoco station about 2.5 miles away.
- Store surveillance and police bodycam video show the suspect and teen entering the station at Conant and Nevada as officers moved in.
- The clerk says she mouthed "help," he brought her behind the counter, and police arrested the man and recovered a gun.
- Officials say the two were strangers, patrols near schools have increased, and arraignment is expected within 48 hours as the mayor noted prior rape charges.
