4th Arrest Made In Philly Basement Case
Nabbed! 4th Arrest Made In Philly Kidnapping, Basement Case
PHILADELPHIA — Philadelphia police say they have made a fourth arrest in a horrific case in which four mentally disabled people were found locked up in a basement, allegedly so their captors could cash their Social Security checks.
Officer Christine O’Brien, a department spokeswoman, says a daughter of alleged ringleader Linda Weston was arrested early Wednesday.
O’Brien says detectives had been interviewing the daughter about the case and she was put under arrest around 3:45 a.m.
Police are not releasing her name, but say she will face similar charges as the other three arrested.
The 51-year-old Weston was charged Monday with kidnapping, false imprisonment and other offenses after her landlord stumbled on the four adults, all weak and malnourished, in a dank, foul-smelling boiler room over the weekend.
