PENN HILLS, Pa. (WPXI) – An Amber Alert was issued after a toddler was abducted in Penn Hills on Saturday, according to police. Allegheny County police have arrested Sharena Islam Nancy, the driver of the Toyota Yaris in connection with the abduction of Nalani Johnson. Nancy is facing several charges including kidnapping of a minor and concealment of whereabouts of a child. Police said the girl was abducted by Sharena Islam Nancy, a 25-year-old Indian American female. Police said Nancy was driving a 2017 black Toyota Yaris with PA plate KLW3926 with Lyft and Uber stickers on the front passenger side window. Police said they found Nancy and the car involved and said she was being questioned at the police department. County police, the lead agency now in the investigation, said they are being helped by the FBI. The agency said shortly after the alleged abduction, Nancy drove to Monroeville, where the car was spotted near the intersection of Route 48 and Route 22 shortly after 5 p.m. During their investigation, police said the black Toyota Yaris traveled to the Blairsville, New Alexandria and Delmont areas of Westmoreland County during the 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. time frame. Family members say Nancy was giving a ride to Nalani, her father and a friend. When Nalani’s father got out of the car and went around to get the girl out is when Nancy allegedly took off with the child. (Photo: WPXI)
