Ski-masked man attempts to abduct girl in Wheaton


Montgomery County police are investigating the attempted abduction of a child in Wheaton on Monday. Sometime between 4:15 and 4:30 PM on October 3, 2022, a girl was walking in the 2000 block of Georgian Woods Place. A black, 4-door sedan with tinted windows pulled up behind her. The driver, wearing a black ski mask, got out and instructed the girl in Spanish to get into his car.

When the driver grabbed the girl's arm, she was able to pull it free and ran. As she did, she noticed a second male suspect inside the car.

The driver is described by police as a Latino male, about 5'8" in height with a thin build. In addition to his ski mask, he was wearing black clothing and black gloves. The second male suspect was also wearing black, but did not emerge from the car at any point, the girl told police.

Detectives are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the suspects or the vehicle involved.  Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact the Special Victims Investigations Division at 240-773-5400. Callers can remain anonymous.
