A 17-year-old girl tells Spartanburg Police she was kidnapped and robbed at the Westgate Mall in Spartanburg over the weekend.
The teen says she bought a phone from a friend who then wanted to buy the phone back. As the victim was leaving work, she and the friend walked back to the friend’s car.
When they got into the car, an unknown man wearing a bandanna over his face and armed with a gun came to the car and got inside as well.
The teen tells police he made the friend drive to Bellew Carver Rd. where the gunman took both their phones and made her get out of the car.
She says once she got out of the car, her friend told the gunman that the victim had another phone. He pointed the gun at her again and demanded she give him the other phone.
He then got back into the car and her friend drove off.
