Mexican Teen Fakes Own Kidnapping to fund Vacation!
Mexican police have arrested a teenager who faked her own kidnapping so that she could get money to go on vacations with her ex-boyfriend and four other friends.
Nineteen year-old Arely Soto engineered a devious plot to fake her own kidnapping intending to use the ransom money her parents paid to her kidnappers to upgrade her vacation package..
Soto tried to convince her parents that criminals had kidnapped her and demanded the sum of $20,000 for her release.
To execute the plan Soto disappeared from her home in the state of Veracruz one day and had her friends call her family, posing as bloodthirsty criminals. Kidnappings still being a common crime in Mexico meant the plan had a fair chance of working. Soto's parents suspected something was amiss and contacted local police who together with the Soto's family hatched a plan to catch the "kidnappers."
Mexican newspaper Zocalo reports that Soto's parents agreed to make the ransom. Police then apprehended the teens as they drove in to collect the ransom money. The teens confessed and revealed the location of Soto who after lying that had been threatened and beaten with a knife admitted to the scam to Police.
There will be no Oscars awarded for any of the performances in the epic drama but Soto and her accomplices will have plenty of time to practice in jail....
