Stafford, Va. — The Stafford County Sheriff’s Office is reporting a possible abduction attempt at the Garrison Woods Apartment Complex in Stafford County.
On October 25, 2011 at approximately 7:30 in the evening an unknown male attempted to abduct a 17 year old female while she was walking between apartments. The female victim reported that she was walking from one apartment to another when an unknown male, driving a beige colored car, followed her. The male stopped the car and told the female to “get in the car.” The victim refused and the male then said that if she did not get in the car he would get out and make her get in. The victim ran and the male suspect drove off saying that he would return to get her. Due to the fear the victim was experiencing as a result of this incident the information was not shared with Stafford Authorities until today. The information was given to the victim’s School Resource Officer at school today.
The vehicle is described as a long, 4-door sedan, beige inside and out, with stock silver wheels and squeaky brakes. The suspect is described as a light skinned (possible Hispanic) male, thin but muscular with short black hair that was spiked in the front. No facial hair was noted and the suspect spoke with a faint accent.
The Stafford Sheriff’s Office is actively investigating this incident and increased patrols have been initiated in the area of Garrison Woods. Due to recent events in Spotsylvania County the Stafford Sheriff’s Office had already increased patrols in neighborhoods across the county. These increased patrols will continue.
Anyone with information about this suspect is asked to contact the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office at 540-658-4400, call Crime Solvers at 540-659-2020 or Text a Tip by typing 274637 (CRIMES), hit ok and text Stafford and the message.
