Lakewood police determine no child was abducted Monday

A 13-year-old girl told police a child may have been abducted from Lakewood on Monday, but have since ruled that out.

LAKEWOOD, Wash — Lakewood police say no child was abducted Monday following an investigation into suspicious activity. 

Police received a 911 call at 5:50 p.m. Monday reporting suspicious activity and a possible abduction in the area of 83rd Avenue SW and Garnet Lane SW near Oakbrook Elementary School. 

A 13-year-old girl was at the school waiting for a ride when she said she saw someone in a motorhome-type vehicle stop and grab a boy from the street, police said.

Surveillance video from a nearby business showed a camper with dark tinted windows. Police were able to locate the vehicle on JBLM property shortly after 9 p.m. 

Police said they made contact with the people associated with that vehicle and ruled out the possibility of an abduction. 

Police said no one called to report a child missing, but added the 13-year-old girl did the right thing to report suspicious activity.
