A Hillsboro man is facing an abduction charge after allegedly stealing a car in Lynchburg with a small child inside Monday afternoon.
Neal N. McKenzie, 41, was charged with abduction, and further charges from the incident will be presented to an upcoming session of a Highland County grad jury, Lynchburg Police Chief Richard Warner said.
Warner said the Lynchburg Police Department received a call at 12:55 p.m. Monday reporting that a car had been stolen by McKenzie from a location on Broadway Street with a 2-year-old infant inside the vehicle in a car seat. Warner said the vehicle belonged to the child’s mother.
