(CNN) A video taken the day before an 11-year-old Massachusetts girl was abducted captured a suspicious car traveling the same street as the child, a recording released by the Springfield Police Department shows.

The girl was abducted Wednesday and later found safe after state police pulled over the car she was in, acting on a tip from a civilian. The blue Honda sedan seen in the video matched the description of the suspect vehicle.

State police said a man forced the girl into a car Wednesday while she was walking home from school about 1:30 p.m. A woman was driving the car when the incident happened, authorities said.

A home surveillance camera shows a blue car behind her as she walked down a street on Tuesday.

"The car was seen in the area yesterday also," Commissioner Cheryl Clapprood said Wednesday as police release the video.
