#BREAKING: Kidnapping Suspect, Children Found After Amber Alert

A woman who allegedly kidnapped her two children in Abington Thursday—triggering an Amber Alert—has been captured on Cape Cod.

Abington police said Bruna Gomes, 33, was arrested at a motel in Yarmouth. The children were found safe, police said.

Police said earlier in the morning, Gomes pepper-sprayed the children’s father in Abington, snatched the children, then fled in a minivan.

Police broadcast the Amber Alert; the motel manager reportedly saw the alert and called police after seeing Gomes there.

Gomes’ children are 8 years old and 7 years old, respectively. Her last known address is Orient Avenue in Everett.

Police said Thursday at about 9 a.m., Gomes knocked on the father’s apartment door and announced, “Abington police.” When he opened the door, she pepper-sprayed him in the face and grabbed the children, police said.
