The North Miami Beach Police Department was searching for a 15-year-old girl who was believed to be endangered.
The young girl was playing a video game and started chatting with an unknown suspect who later picked her up in her home on Saturday morning, police said in a news release.
She called her mother at about 10 p.m. and detectives were able to locate the call back to North Carolina.
On the call, the girl was crying and said she was far away and had not eaten. She then hung up the phone, police said.
