Students from Fleming County high School were held against their will in a store in New York City.
About 60 students from Fleming County High School spent the week in New York City for their senior trip. When they went inside one store Monday afternoon, they claim the owners wouldn't let them leave.
One student told 27 NEWSFIRST they were trying to find some designer handbags at low prices. The student said a woman ushered them through a back alley and into a warehouse full of the bags, then closed the door. They were told "to shop," but 45 minutes later they were still not let out.
That's when one student text messaged another outside, who alerted a school official, who contacted police.
Soon officers kicked the door in, let the students out and arrested those operating the illegal business.
None of the students were hurt.
