Karol Sanchez had the entire city looking for her after an Amber Alert notified everyone that she was kidnapped, but it turns out it was all staged.
The New York Daily News reported that the 16-year-old staged the tragic incident as a way “to get away from her strict mom.”
Sanchez and the four accomplices started panicking when the story went viral. “Once they realized what they did, with the amber alert on their phones, it was like, ‘Oh, s–t, we got a problem,” the source said.
It’s unclear if the culprits would be charged but she had the whole city shook.
Sanchez arrived at the 40th Precinct stationhouse around 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon and shocked those in the area.
“We was at the pole over there, looking at her picture, and we walked up the block, she was crossing the street to to the the cop car, and I was like ‘Yo, that’s her right there,’” said Tommy Feliciano.
“She was shaken up. She was bending over, grabbing her knees, and discussing with the police. And that’s when they took her into the parking garage for questioning,” Zani Koxha said.
The surveillance footage shows Karol Sanchez walking with her mother along Eagle Avenue near East 156th Street, around 11:20 p.m. Two men jumped out and grabbed the teen, dragged her into the car, and pushed her mom to the concrete.
