A state trooper in Indiana on the lookout for robbers Saturday afternoon started an investigation that led to a 6-year-old boy who had been abducted in New Jersey.
According to the state police, Trooper Rich Silcox saw a man parking a car with New Jersey plates at a CVS drugstore in Knightstown, about 35 miles east of Indianapolis. The store had been robbed recently, so Silcox ran a check on the plate.
The car was listed as stolen, and Silcox was notified that it was connected with a woman who had left the state unlawfully with her 6-year-old son.
