Florida mom, off-duty deputy thwart abduction of 13-year-old girl in store, police say

Surveillance video captured a dramatic scene inside a Florida convenient store where a man allegedly attempted to kidnap a 13-year-old girl, according to police.

Suspect Craig Bonello entered the store Tuesday and grabbed the teen, who was shopping with her mother, the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office said.

Bonello, 30, can apparently be seen on surveillance camera pulling the girl by her arms and dragging her to the front door, police said of the mid-day incident that happened about 80 miles west of Orlando.

But the teen’s mother quickly jumped into action, grabbing onto her daughter’s arm while fighting off Bonello in a “tug-of-war,” officials said.

Do you, or anyone, know of any abducted children in Salisbury, specifically white toddlers?

I cannot believe that no one in that store tried to help the mother and her daughter.

Ken Phillips, sometimes the source of the video has been removed. This one seems to be working fine. Try clicking on the title at the top of the post. Hopefully that will help.

Yes 2:19 go to the Wicomico county missing children, and Salisbury missing children by first going to the records for Maryland and then selecting by county. You will be amazed by how many people are still missing some since the 1970's and after that check the unsolved homicides for Salisbury and all local counties.

Sarah Foxwell was abducted and murdered. That is more than enough.
