Police Tuesday were investigating a possible kidnapping of a woman who was seen screaming in a car in Chatsworth.
Officers responded about 3:45 p.m. Sunday to the area of DeSoto Avenue and Devonshire Street and learned a woman who appeared to be in distress was spotted in the back of a car, screaming and banging on the vehicle's rear passenger-side window, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
"The car continued northbound on De Soto Avenue, out of sight from witnesses,'' according to a police statement.
The woman was described as in her late 20s or early 30s with dark hair that was tied up in a ponytail. She was wearing a back sweatshirt.
The suspects were described only as males. It is unclear how many were seen.
The car was described as a gold, early 2000s four-door Honda Accord with a rear passenger window smashed out.
"The suspects are still outstanding and victim has not been located,'' police said.
