He pulled out a firearm and ordered her into the vehicle.The man also got into the vehicle and instructed the woman to drive to the Kern Schools ATM kiosk at Rosedale Hwy and Calloway Drive where he told her to withdraw money.The man remained in the vehicle with the woman's child while the victim made the withdrawal.The woman reentered the vehicle and was directed by the man to the parking lot of Fruitvale Jr. High School. There the man sexually assaulted the woman and then fled from the vehicle on foot.The woman drove to a friend’s business in the 10000 block of Rosedale Hwy where she reported the incident.Police said the woman had just finished shopping and put her baby in the car when the man approached.The BPD say there are some basic things you can do to protect yourself;
- When you are shopping beware of other car parked by yours.
