Four children allegedly abducted in Manteno

A woman is charged with abducting four girls from a park in Manteno at knifepoint Monday. Police said Anita Diaz allegedly took the girls from the park by threatening them with a knife and forcing them into her car. Diaz then took the girls to multiple locations in the Manteno and Bradley area, including her home. Around three hours later, Diaz dropped the girls off at the park. The girls, who had not been reported missing, told police about the incident and Diaz was taken into custody.

Circuit Judge Kathy Bradshaw-Elliott set Diaz' bond at $100,000.  A fitness evaluation was ordered.
