Caught on cam: Florida mom thwarts kidnapping

Hernando , Fla. (WFLA) — A store clerk, a mother, and a quick-thinking deputy are being credited with saving a girl from a potential abduction in Hernando, Florida.

Deputies responded to the Dollar General at 11: 42 a.m. on Tuesday after receiving a 911 call about something happening inside the store.

The initial call indicated the caller heard screaming, and dispatchers then learned that an attempted child abduction was in process.

Investigators say the suspect, Craig Bonello, entered the store and at some point grabbed a 13-year-old girl who was shopping with her mother, then began dragging her toward the door.
