A Philadelphia woman abducted on Sunday evening was found alive and the suspect was found and arrested in Maryland on Wednesday with the help of surveillance camera footages.

FBI agents reportedly found Carlesha Freeland-Gaither, 22, alive and unharmed inside a parked car located in Jessup, Maryland. The agents then arrested the alleged suspect Delvin Barnes, 37, at the scene of the crime.

The car was found 70 miles and eight hours away from where Freeland-Gaither was said to be abducted. According to the special agent in charge of the Philadelphia FBI field office, Ed Hanko, they were able to get some tips from the public that's why they were able to track the car and identify the individual.

The car was said to have been a 2000 or 2002 gray Ford Taurus.

Delvin was seen hours before the abduction walking around a Philadelphia supermarket but his purchases were not given out to the public. Hours after, Barnes was seen again shaking the hand of Freeland-Gaither and a second camera in the same street showed the victim being dragged against her will.

The 22-year-old tried to get away and struggled. She also lost her phone and glasses in her attempt to escape.

Hours after the abduction, Delvin was seen again withdrawing money and using the victim's credit card minutes after. He was seen at a convenience store buying some drinks.

U.S. Marshals accompanied the FBI agents in locating the suspect's car. Law enforcement officials said that they were able to track the car because a GPS was installed in it.

The victim was taken to a nearby hospital and officials said she is already in good shape but she has not been interviewed yet about the incident. It is not yet clear if Freeland-Gaither knew the man as the surveillance camera showed her shaking hands with the suspect.

Delvin is now being held since he has an outstanding attempted capital murder warrant back in Virginia. Officials also said he will be facing federal charges once Freeland-Gaither's case is resolved.
