FBI Charlotte 

The green SUV that was reported stolen earlier this week during the abduction of a 13-year-old Lumberton girl has been found, the FBI announced Thursday. 

The vehicle was located just before 8 a.m. off Quincey Drive in Lumberton, North Carolina. 

Hania Noelia Aguilar, 13, was kidnapped outside her home in Lumberton on Monday morning. The FBI is offering a $15,000 reward for information that leads to finding her.

Aguilar was last seen at the Rosewood Mobile Home Park waiting for the rest of her family to come outside and drive to school when she was forced into a car just before 7 a.m., according to the FBI and Lumberton Police Department. 

A witness saw a male subject dressed in all black and wearing a yellow bandana force Aguilar into a relative’s vehicle that was parked in the driveway, the FBI said.
