Officers investigate child abduction call reported by two children

Posted

Granbury Police Department officers investigated a report from two children on Tuesday night of a child abduction on Carter Court that was called in on 9-1-1, GPD Lt. Russell Grizzard stated in a news release. After the responding authorities viewed “clear surveillance video from two sources” that showed the “entire area,” Grizzard noted, “nothing was observed on either video.”

Hood County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to the initial report and GPD officers also arrived to assist, the lieutenant noted.

“Two children were reporting that they witnessed an unknown child being pulled into a car against his/her will,” Grizzard noted in the GPD news release. “They subsequently said the child wasn’t actually pulled into the car, but an adult got out of the car, grabbed the child, and walked away with him/her. It was later determined that the reported incident happened at the 4300 block of Highway 377E, so GPD took over the investigation. The witnesses were able to point out the exact location of the reported incident.”

Grizzard added, “Additionally, there have been no reports received of any missing children or adults.”

He concluded by stating, “Based on the surveillance video and the lack of any supporting reports, there is no active investigation at this time.”
