Police allege the kidnapping took place on April 17 when a man jumped in a woman’s car and demanded that she drive to a location outside the city. She had her child with her in the car, police said. She dropped the man off outside the city as instructed, then called police.
Police didn’t catch the man immediately after the woman called police, but on July 26 London police said they were looking for Carrol.
