The Amber Alert was issued for Karol Sanchez, after she was kidnapped by a group of men along a street in the Melrose section of the Bronx.
The incident, which happened around 11:30 p.m. Monday in the 700 block of Eagle Avenue, was caught on camera.
Surveillance video released by the NYPD shows two men jumping out of a car and grabbing 16-year-old Karol Sanchez as she walked with her mom.
Her mom tries to fight back but is pushed away as Sanchez is forced into the beige four-door sedan with two other men inside.
The car with four men and the victim inside then drives off, fleeing east on Eagle Avenue.
Investigators say Sanchez did not know her kidnappers.
Sanchez is described as 5’5″ tall, 150 lbs. with short black hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a dark blue short jacket, white sweater, blue jeans and black sneakers.
The men wanted for questioning in the case are described as four adult males in their 20s with dark complexions. All were wearing dark clothing.
Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
At 2:33 PM on Tuesday, the NYPD 40th Precinct tweeted that Sanchez had been found.
“WE HAVE A VICTORY TODAY!! Karol has been found!!!” read the tweet. “Thank you to all who have worked very hard to track down the people involved in this case!!!”

Which country do we live in??? This is crazy!! In front of her mom??!! No fear for the law, no humanity… scary!!
Something is not right with this story. Why didnt this go national right away? They should have locked the whole city down immediately in such a horrific case. 4 people kidnapping someone, that is an unheard of scenario. They are not giving us the full story. Is there a custody dispute going on? What were they doing walking there? Where is the father in all this? I surmise that the police are suspecting that this is an internal family matter or a prank. I still hope she turns up ok, but waiting to hear the rest of the story.
When you allow mexicans free access to the us and bring their “culture” of kidnappins. Gang rape and domestic violence us thanks to schumer, schiff, nadler, engel, sanders what do you expect

Triumphinwhitehouse is a vile racist that should be banned permanently from this site
NYPD has found the girl in the Bronx and she’s safe.
#8 is a Soros funded troll impersonating myself. Tell your boss George Soros to stop trying to destroy the economy like he did in eastern Europe in order to sell cheap bonds.
From the way it sounds, this wasn’t a random act. This girl or family was targeted as payback or Ransom. Most probably drug related. It usually is in certain communities.
