This story, originally published Oct. 18 at 12:36 p.m., was updated Oct. 18 at 2:30 p.m. to add that police announced the kidnapping was unfounded.
A 13-year-old girl from Gaithersburg reported that she was kidnapped on Tuesday in Germantown, but the report was ultimately unfounded, Montgomery County Police said.
Police said that there is no threat to the community or to the safety of children.
The teen told police that between 3-3:15 p.m. Tuesday, two men approached her in a dark gray sedan near the intersection of Waring Station and Stoney Bottom roads in Germantown.
She reported that the men got out of the vehicle and forced the teen into their car, police said.
The girl said that after the men started driving, she managed to get out of the car and run near the 20000 block of Placid Lake Terrace in Germantown, where a resident found her, according to police.
That would have been around three miles and an eight-minute drive from the area where she was picked up.
Montgomery County Fire Rescue personnel transported her to an area hospital.
