Christopher Rosa, 37, allegedly tried to lure an eight-year-old ultra-Orthodox child into his car trunk.
Police in Waterbury, Connecticut arrested a would-be kidnapper of a young Jewish girl Monday, one day after he allegedly tried to lure her from her front yard into his car trunk.
The suspect, Christopher Rosa, 37, was caught with the help of local residents, who reviewed security cameras outside their homes and businesses after the authorities requested help in finding a suspicious vehicle that had been cruising a quiet Waterbury residential neighborhood Sunday evening.
Surveillance footage caught the incident in full, showing a black Honda driving slowly down the street and braking occasionally. It stopped near a large house where child was standing in side yard, and the man later identified as Rosa got out and opened his trunk.
