Cops arrest mother and father who abducted two South Florida kids, police say
A mother and a father abducted their children from a Friday supervised visit. By the next day, authorities had both parents in handcuffs, Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office said.
After 6 p.m. Saturday, Winter Soriano, 27 and Laurence Rodriguez, 28, were arrested outside Tallahassee by the U.S. Marshal’s Florida Regional Task Force and PBSO deputies, the sheriff’s office said. The children were safely recovered.
Deputies say Soriano took her children from a supervised visit with a relative in the 1500 block of Crestwood Boulevard in Lake Worth Beach on Friday, hustled out to meet Rodriguez and they ran to a nearby car.
The pair had been on the run for nearly 24 hours before being arrested. The reason neither Soriano nor Rodriguez had custody of their children wasn’t stated.
