Eight employees of Camelback Moving helped Phoenix Police recover a young girl who was the subject of an Amber Alert on the morning of February 22, after using two moving trucks to block a suspect's vehicle at a QuikTrip at 27th Avenue and Thomas Road.
A security guard at the convenience store first spotted the girl and an adult woman matching the description from an alert issued the prior day. A Camelback Moving crew was also on site. After the guard and crew consulted, they positioned the trucks to prevent the suspect from leaving. Phoenix Police arrived 2 and a half minutes later and recovered the victim unharmed, according to Phoenix Magazine.
Company president Chad Olsen identified the eight employees by name: Robert Hernandez, Ralph Vollmert, Christopher Dixon, Kevin Place, Kevin Kimes, Gerardo Galacia, Kobe Brown, and Michael Macallum. "We are incredibly proud of our community heroes," Olsen said, "for their courage, quick thinking, and teamwork. Their actions exemplify what it means to look out for our community and to take its safety seriously. This is a powerful reminder that the Amber Alert system works."
The incident was independently corroborated by Fox 10 Phoenix, Fox News, and KTAR.
The Phoenix Magazine item notes the crew's response followed Camelback Moving's partnership with the nonprofit Truckers Against Trafficking to train employees in human trafficking awareness.
No further court or police proceedings were detailed in the source material; the case status is not yet publicly disclosed.
