ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Police arrested a 31-year-old Anaheim man for an alleged attempted kidnapping of a 13-year-old girl.
The alleged attempted kidnapping happened on March 31 around 2:45 p.m. in the 2600 block of West Ball Road, according to Anaheim police Sgt. Shane Carringer. The girl was walking home from Dale Jr. High School when she saw a man, later identified as Andrew Pio, sitting in a parked truck. Pio left the truck and allegedly tried to force her into the passenger seat of his truck, Carringer said.The truck was described as a white pickup with a gray tool rack in the bed of the truck, which was possibly a Toyota Tundra or Ford 150, he said.
On Friday around 2:30 p.m., police tried to make a traffic stop on a truck being driven by Pio in Brea, Carringer said. The truck matched the suspect vehicle police were searching for. Pio was finally arrested after leading police on a pursuit when the California Highway Patrol laid down a spike strip on the 5 Freeway at La Paz Road, Carringer said. A subsequent investigation by Anaheim police determined that Pio was the suspected kidnapper.Anyone with information on this case was asked to call Anaheim police detectives at 765-1419. Tipsters can also call OC Crime Stoppers at 847-6227.
