Pueblo man made fake kidnapping report, prompting Amber Alert, to find stolen truck, police say

A Pueblo man was arrested this week for what police described as a fake kidnapping report that prompted an Amber Alert, all to expedite efforts to track down his stolen pickup truck. Late Wednesday afternoon, police officers responded to a bowling alley in southwest Pueblo in response to a report of a motor vehicle theft and kidnapping, according to a Pueblo Police Department news release. There, officers spoke with Daniel Reyes, 34, who said his 13-year-old cousin was inside of his white Ford F-250 truck when it was stolen. The investigation by Pueblo police soon escalated to include multiple agencies, including the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, before police found the unoccupied truck about a mile and a half east of the bowling alley. Four hours after the investigation began, police learned the girl whose photograph Reyes supplied was safe.
