Wilton police said the investigators looking into a report of an attempted abduction determined that no one had been abducted.

Someone contacted police just before 4:30 p.m. on Friday and said a male had forced a girl into a black Subaru station wagon in the area of Ridgefield Road and Drum Hill Road and the vehicle was heading toward Ridgefield.

Wilton police alerted Ridgefield police and they said the driver refused to pull over for both Wilton and Ridgefield officers.

The girl got out of the moving car and was taken to a hospital to be treated for minor injuries.

The Subaru later collided with another vehicle while in Ridgefield and several minors ran from the vehicle, police said.

K-9 units from Ridgefield and Bridgeport helped to find two boys and two girls and they were brought to  the Wilton Police Department and reunited with the parents.

During the investigation, police determined that the girl who appeared to have been abducted got into the car and remained inside voluntarily.

The children all live in Danbury, according to police.

Police from Ridgefield and Danbury followed up with investigations and Wilton Police School Resource Officer will follow up with an investigation, police said.
