The New York State Police says that the Town of Greece Police Department is cancelling the AMBER Alert for two children declared missing Monday night in Greece.
Police say Shekeria Cash, 3, and her brother, Dimitri Cash Jr., 5, were located safely Wednesday afternoon beneath blankets in the back of a rental car in Montgomery, Alabama.
A woman was taken into custody at the scene. Police say the car was rented in the Rochester-area area. Police say they were able to trace it to help find the children.
The children are currently in police custody.
Officers tell Spectrum News they're now working to get the children back to New York.
"And not one time during those 48 hours was there one gripe complaint. Every time when we had something that we wanted to discuss it was about how we were going to find these kids safely. I'm going to be honest, to have this done in 48 hours is truly amazing police work," said Greece Police Chief Andrew Forsythe.
On Tuesday police said that the children were taken from a foster home on English Road by two masked men.
Police said the mother was caring for her seven young foster children while her husband was at work when she heard a crashing sound at the front of the home.
“She observed two Black males breaking through the front window and entering the residence. She screamed, and when she screamed, two of her children came down from upstairs to check on her to see if she was OK. She immediately grabbed onto her two children and wrapped them up in her arms at which point the two suspects then grabbed all three of them, and used duct tape to forcibly tape all three together," said Greece Police Chief Drew Forsythe during a news conference Tuesday.
Police say the men stole the family’s car and left with the two children. Police say the abductors took the family car to an apartment complex on Whitehall Drive in Greece and parked the car in a parking lot where it was abandoned.
No word yet about the pair of suspects that took them. This is a developing story that will be updated as more information becomes available.
