YARMOUTH – A woman accused of kidnapping her two young children and triggering an Amber Alert
in Massachusetts is headed for court.
Police say 33-year-old Bruna Gomes was arrested at the EconoLodge on Rt. 28 in West Yarmouth Thursday several hours after she took the children from the Abington apartment of her children’s father.
Authorities say she knocked on the door, announced that she was a police officer and allegedly pepper sprayed the children’s caretaker.
Authorities activated an amber alert at around 3 p.m.
The hotel owner called police about a half-hour later and told them Gomes had checked in with the children.
Police say the two children were later reunited with their father.
Gomes is scheduled to be arraigned Friday on parental kidnapping and home invasion charges.
