Last night, we learned the disturbing news that a 9-year-old girl was briefly abducted in Providence after getting off of her school bus in the Hartford neighborhood.

This shocking occurrence is currently being investigated by Providence Police. The suspect is reported to have been driving a silver Nissan SUV around Grover Street and Merino Street.  We encourage anyone with information regarding this incident to call Detective Captain Tim O’Hara at 401-243-6360 or by email at tohara@providenceri.gov.

Our thoughts are with the afflicted family, and we are hopeful that our Police Department’s thorough investigation will provide them the peace and closure they deserve.
