Fayetteville police have located two missing infants and their mother, who is accused of abducting them on Sunday from their grandmother’s home, in New York.

Four-month-old Antoin Marsh and 1-year-old Destiny Marsh were reported missing Sunday afternoon, according to Fayetteville police. Their mother Catrina Lucas, 20, is accused of abducting them from their grandmother’s home on Winter Park Drive.

Lucas and the children are believed to be somewhere in New York state or New York City, according to public information officer Sgt. Shawn Strepay of the Fayetteville Police Department.

Fayetteville police have been in contact with Lucas over the phone and are working with authorities in New York to bring a resolution, Strepay said.
