TWIN LAKE, Mich. — Michigan State Police say they are investigating a possible kidnapping attempt involving a delivery driver in the Twin Lake area in Muskegon County.
MSP vehicles were spotted at the Timberline Mobile Home Estates Monday night.
In a tweet just before 10 p.m. Monday, they said troopers had a suspect detained for questioning.
Neighbors in the mobile home park tell FOX 17 that a man driving an Amazon delivery van was acting suspicious near a young girl.
After witnessing the concerning behavior, several people in the area reportedly jumped in their own vehicles and blocked the delivery driver in until police arrived.
“It was one of the bigger Amazon vans; it was completely surrounded. He couldn't go anywhere,” John Blume, a man who lives in the area, told FOX 17.
“I knew something bad had happened ... in the roadway down here, to the left of me, there was a sheriff's car, and then there was a bunch of state troopers out here.”
It is unclear at this time whether or not the driver is facing any criminal charges related to the incident.
"I'm really glad that they caught this guy before anything else could have happened, or he could have done something to someone else outside of here," Blume said.
Maria Boschetti, a spokesperson for Amazon, told FOX 17 on Tuesday, “We’re providing our full support to the Michigan State Police who are investigating this incident and defer to the Lieutenant in charge for any updates.”
FOX 17 also reached out to Timberline Estates for a comment on what happened, but have yet to receive a response.
