Police: NY teens fake kidnap for "entertainment"

BETHPAGE, N.Y. (AP) — Now they're in real trouble.

A group of Long Island teenagers who police say faked an abduction for "entertainment purposes only" have been arrested on misdemeanor charges.

Nassau County police say witnesses reported seeing two teenagers put a bound teen into the trunk of a car parked at a Bethpage supermarket lot on Monday. Two other teens were in a second car parked directly behind the first one. Both cars were driven out of the lot.

Police say detectives later figured out that the supposed abduction was just teenage horseplay.

Police arrested 9 Levvittown High School students in connection with the fake kidnapping.

They face charges of falsely reporting an incident.
