A suspect was arrested in connection to a possible kidnapping of a woman in her 40s, who was allegedly being forced into a sedan in Bellflower.
The woman was located and was safe, authorities said, but it was unclear when or where she was found.
Deputies responded to the 9800 block of Cedar Street around 4:45 p.m. Sunday, when a woman was allegedly removed from a red 2005 Toyota Camry with California license plate 5NJW241 and forced into a teal or green 1997 Ford Explorer with California license plate 3XNZ003, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
Authorities said the vehicle drove away east on Cedar Street.
“It is believed the female victim knows the suspect and that she was taken by the suspect against her will and is in physical danger,” sheriff’s officials said. “To date, the female victim has not been identified, nor has anyone matching her physical description been reported missing to local law enforcement.”
Details on the victim’s identity were unavailable, but both the cars were recovered, according to LASD.
