An 89-year-old woman in Delaware has been
carjacked and locked in her own boot for two
days before being dumped at a cemetery.
State police have charged five teenagers over the
kidnapping of Margaret Smith, who was found
wandering around the headstones of the
graveyard east of Seaford in Sussex County.
She was treated at a local hospital and later
released.
By chance, troopers spotted her car being driven
around in nearby Bridgeville and ran a licence
check.
Three girls and two boys aged from 14 to 17-
years-old were taken into custody.
Authorities had issued a Gold Alert for Mrs Smith
after relatives reported her missing on Tuesday
night.
She had last been seen getting into her car
around 11am that day.
Police said two girls had approached her at a
grocery store and asked for a ride.
She agreed but when they arrived at the address
they gave, the girls demanded her car keys and
forced her into the boot of the car.
They later allegedly took more than $500 from
her coat pocket.
At some point, the two girls also picked up the
other teens and showed off their helpless victim
inside the boot, police said.
Two girls, aged 14 and 15, were detained on
$122,000 (£80,000) cash bonds after being charged
with robbery, carjacking, kidnapping and
conspiracy.
Two boys, both aged 17, were being held on
$27,000 (£17,000) secured bonds after being
charged with kidnapping, conspiracy and
receiving stolen property.
Another 15-year-old girl was charged with
receiving stolen property and conspiracy and is
being held on $2,000 (£1,300) secured bond.

I taught it happened in Nigeria cos such thing cant happen here. The Police would be on top of situation.
