CRANSTON -- The police want the public's help in finding a man involved in the abduction of a woman last week from the YD Nails and Spa.

The police identified a suspect as a thinly-built, six-foot-tall white man who is about 28 years old, with light eyes, short light-brown hair.

"We are also interested in a blue van/minivan that was seen in the area which may be involved," the police news release says.

The adbuction happened Tuesday about 9:15 a.m. at the nail salon, which is at 789 Atwood Ave. The woman, whom police have not named, was later located at a shopping center in Braintree, Mass. Last week, authorities said they interviewed her about the incident.

An FBI news release last week said the woman who was abducted had been opening the salon and that she was released about 11:15 a.m. at South Shore Plaza in Braintree. Braintree police took her to South Shore Hospital in Weymouth, Mass., from which she was released.

The police ask that people with information about the suspect, the vehicle or both to call (401) 477-5160.
