Teen Reported Missing After Robbery Was Accomplice: Fort Worth Police

Police said a 17-year-old girl reported missing after an assault, robbery and carjacking Thursday morning was an accomplice in crimes.

Fort Worth police said they responded to a kidnapping call in the 6100 block of Vega Drive at 3:28 a.m.

Investigators initially thought the victim was visiting her 18-year-old friend at the apartments when three men assaulted and robbed her friend. The men then drove away in the girl's vehicle with her inside.

Police said they tracked the victim's friend's cell phone — which was in the girl's vehicle — and found it dumped near Farm-to-Market Road 1187 in South Fort Worth.

After safely locating the girl, police said detectives determined she was involved in the assault and robbery of her friend.

No further details have been released.
