PUEBLO, COLO. -- On January 7  around 5:29 p.m., a female victim reported that four males tried to abduct her.

The victim reported that she was walking in the 2400 block of W. Northern Ave. when a blue four door sedan drove up next to her.

The vehicles occupants were described as four white males in their mid twenties who were covered with tattoos.

The victim stated, the male occupants started hollering out to her in an attempt to get her attention.

They began to call her names when she continued to ignore them.

Moments later, the vehicle quickly drove up behind her, slamming on the brakes. The front passenger then exited the vehicle and ran up and grabbed her from behind, attempting to drag her to the vehicle.

The victim began to kick and scream and she heard someone in the area yell "leave her alone".

She is unsure of who it was who yelled. The victim was able to get free and took off running to a nearby business where she called the police.

A tattoo of the word "Bessemer" was observed on the neck of one of the suspects.

The victim did not suffer any physical injuries.

If anyone has any information regarding the attempted kidnapping, you are urged to call Pueblo

Crime Stoppers @ 542-STOP (542-7867) or visit their site at www.pueblocrimestoppers.com.
