Surveillance video released by Prince William County police shows what appears to be an abduction in front of a Walmart.
Multiple witnesses reported to police that two men were seen putting an unknown person into the trunk of a dark-colored sedan in front of the Walmart at 14000 Worth Avenue in Woodbridge, Virginia.
The incident happened about 10 p.m. Friday and was captured by the store's surveillance cameras.
The video shows two men exit the car after pulling up to the Walmart. They walk out of the camera's view for a few seconds before one of the men returns to the car and appears to open the vehicle’s trunk from the driver’s compartment.
That man then walks back out of camera view once again. A few seconds later, both men reappear within camera view holding the victim from both sides walking towards the trunk of the car.
At one point, the victim appears to try and get away from the men and is unsuccessful. The suspects get back in the car and drive away after putting the victim in the trunk.
Witnesses told detectives that during the encounter, the victim and the suspects appeared to be possibly “play fighting” before putting the victim in the trunk.
