MARTINEZ (CBS/AP) -- Officials Martinez said they have arrested two men after the kidnapping of a 17-year-old girl appeared to be a hoax.

Contra Costa Sheriff's Office Lt. Ian Hebert said deputies interviewed the teenage girl but she denies being a victim of anything.

Sgt. Enrique Henriquez says someone reported seeing a girl forced into a truck at gunpoint in Martinez Saturday afternoon. Deputies searched the area and found the truck in Walnut Creek.

Henriquez says they found two men in the truck and a third a short distance away with the girl.

Their identification and charges weren't immediately available Sunday evening.
