Prosecutors claimed that a guy was taken into custody and accused of robbing a teenage girl at the Powell Street BART station last week.
Tuesday night at approximately 8 p.m., according to BART police, they received a report about a guy who was seen shoving a young woman from the station and into a car. “The agency released a statement stating that the witness statements verified the initial report and the surveillance video from Powell Street Station demonstrated the incident, which included the suspect taking the female by force out of the station.”
According to BART police, after using the camera footage to track them, San Francisco police discovered the car and its driver around three in the morning the following day. Also safely found was the girl, whose parents had reported her missing. The two seemed to know one another, according to BART police Chief Kevin Franklin, who told CBS News that it is doubtful that this is an instance of stranger abduction.
