A scary sex crime is being reported out of Santa Monica.

Cops later found out that her car was involved in a hit-and-run.

-Shortly after 4 a.m. Saturday: The woman is returning from a trip to a CVS pharmacy, which is at 26th Street and Santa Monica Boulevard.

" ... She was immediately accosted by a gun-wielding suspect and an accomplice. The suspects entered the car and drove to the 1900 block of Stewart Street where the victim was sexually assaulted."
Cops say the victim was left there and that her car was taken.
-4:15 a.m: Someone reports a hit-and-run on a parked car in the 2200 block of Delaware Avenue involving a vehicle matching the victim's.
The vehicle ended up abandoned behind a residence in the 2700 block of Kansas Avenue, not far away.

She says she was kidnapped, attacked and robbed.
