A possible kidnapping was reported Monday in the northwest Las Vegas Valley.

Just before 3 p.m., police were told a man was seen putting his hand over a woman’s mouth and pushing her into a black sedan near North Hualapai Way and West Centennial Parkway, near the 215 Beltway, the Metropolitan Police Department said.

The caller told police that another man was in the vehicle, Metro spokeswoman Laura Meltzer said. The sedan may have left the scene headed eastbound on Centennial Parkway, Meltzer said.

No other details were immediately available.
