Police in Council Bluffs are investigating a possible abduction. Sgt. Chad Meyers said that at around 3:50-p.m. today (Wednesday), a concerned citizen called 911 and reported that he had heard someone yelling for help. When he looked outside, he saw a white female being pushed against a dark colored SUV by two males. The female was then pushed into the back seat of the vehicle, which then left south bound on No. 25th Street.
The girl was described as a white female in her teens, with shoulder length or longer brownish/ blonde hair. She was wearing an orange, white and black shirt or jacket. The two men were described as Hispanic males in their late teens or early twenties. The vehicle was described as an older model black SUV, possibly a Jeep Cherokee with loud exhaust.The Council Bluffs Police Department has been trying to identify the female and verify whether or not a crime has been committed. There have been no teenage girls or young women reported missing since the incident occurred. Authorities say they have worked in cooperation with all the high schools in Council Bluffs to account for any teenage girl that was absent from school today. As of late Wednesday afternoon, they had not been able to identify the female, nor have officials discovered any evidence or additional information suggesting that a crime has occurred. It is possible that this was a prank or some young people playing around.
Meyers says authorities are asking that anyone with information on the incident call the Council Bluffs Police Department at 328-STOP. Your information can remain anonymous and could be eligible for a cash reward.
