The woman was getting into her car at Flick Video on East Stuart Drive around 11:45 p.m. when a man grabbed her and forced her into his truck, police said.

The woman was released about 45 minutes later in the Cracker Neck area of Grayson County after the driver took two credit cards from her purse, authorities said.

The victim walked home and called the police, authorities said.

The passenger also was described as 18 or 19. He has light hair and wore camouflage pants and a blue baseball cap. He was about 5 feet 6 inches tall and spoke with a low, deep voice.

The truck was a dark brown, four-wheel-drive pickup truck with a white toolbox on the back, authorities said.
