Amber Alert Update- 3-year-old Chasity Collins- FOUND

Police have FOUND Chasity Collins.

Police were searching for a 3-year-old girl who was in a car when it was stolen outside a convenience store in the Red Bird area of Dallas, police had said.

According to police, 3-year-old Chasity Collins was in a white 2009 Lincoln 4-door MKZ sedan with Texas license plate JJT5997 when it was stolen outside a 7-Eleven in the 2400 block of West Ledbetter Drive in Dallas Texas shortly after midnight. Police said a woman had left the car unattended with its engine running before it was stolen.

A regional and statewide Amber Alert was requested through the Texas Department of Public Safety, police offered.

Dallas Police said officers found the 3-year-old Chasity Collins in the 1000 block of Mountain Lake Road, a few miles from where she was taken.

No additional information has been given at this time. 

One of the criteria for issuing an Ambert Alert is the child likely being at risk for serious bodily harm or death before an alert can be issued. This element is clearly related to law enforcement’s recognition that stranger abductions represent the greatest danger to children.
