A surveillance camera captured images of what police believe to be the car of the man who abducted and raped a 9-year-old Alban Park, Del. girl June 9.
The 9-year-old girl accepted a ride from a stranger when she was accidentally locked out of her home. The man drove her to the 200-block of Liberty Street in Wilmington and raped her before she could get out of the car, police say.
The young girl was dropped off at her 500-block of Homestead Road address by a family friend. She walked into her building but when she was unable to get inside her door, she walked back outside to look for her sister and parents, police say.
While walking along Alban Drive near the Canby Park Shopping Center, a man described as an Asian or Hispanic male with short black hair, round eyes, “chubby cheeks” and a “chubby build” offered her a ride. After some conversation the child accepted the ride, police say.
The suspect’s SUV is a 1995-2005 Chevrolet Tahoe with a registration containing a “2” in the middle of the tag.
