At approximately 8:30 p.m., officers responded to the 3200 Block of West Buckingham Road after receiving a call about a kidnapping, according to the Garland Police Department.
Upon arrival, officers interviewed a witness who told them they saw 17-year-old Yadhira Monserrat Medina being dragged into a vehicle against her will. The vehicle was described as a white Ford or GM pickup truck with tan or silver trim.
