A Brooklyn woman was arrested on Thursday after police say she told 911 a child was in her car when it was stolen, which was not true, according to CBS New York.
Police say Tiffany, 23, left her car running while she picked up food, and when she came out the car was gone. She allegedly told a dispatcher that a 6 year old relative was in the back seat of her 2008 Chrysler Pacifica, hoping to get a faster response. Police started a search for the child and the vehicle. When officers found the car a few blocks away, no child was inside. The child was safe with family the entire time.
A complaint filed in Kings County Criminal Court alleges she claimed her nephew was in the vehicle so police would respond more quickly, and that she had picked up that idea in a school class.
Tiffany was charged with filing a false police report and was released without bail at her arraignment on Friday. The charge is an allegation, and she has not been convicted.
