Description
Bystanders helped police quickly apprehend a kidnapping suspect in Hoquiam Monday morning.
A woman called the Hoquiam Police Department around 8:43 a.m. to report that a man drove off with her minivan while her two children were inside.
The woman was dropping some paperwork off at a friend's house and had left her children in the car because they were sleeping. The car was left running with the air conditioning on. While the woman was inside her friend's house a man she didn't know got into her car and drove away, according to the Hoquiam Police Department.
The Grays Harbor County Scanner posted information about the incident online. Two people who read the description of the van spotted it at a nearby gas station - with two children inside - called 911, according to the police department.
