A teenager was almost kidnapped in broad daylight in front of a Reno store.

The Reno Police Department says the attempted abduction happened around 4:30 p.m. on September first.

They say two men came up from behind and grabbed a 15-year-old girl in the parking lot of TJ Maxx on Kietzke Lane. 

The men let go after a witness yelled at them. The suspects fled in a green "boxy" older style van. 

The men are described to have dark complexions, medium builds, were 6 feet tall and wore blue paper surgical masks.

Thankfully, the teen was not hurt.

Reno Police would like to talk to the woman who witnessed the attempted kidnapping and anyone else who saw what happened. 

The investigation is on going.
