A California teen was rescued after she used Snapchat to alert her friends about her location. Police say she was kidnapped by three men on Tuesday and was taken to a local motel.

According to Buzzfeed News, the San Jose Police Department said in a report that the 14-year-old girl used SnapChat and sent her location to her friends after being kidnapped. The teens called 911, informing police that the victim was taken to the E-Z 8 Motel. She was found in a motel room and one suspect, Albert Thomas Vasquez,55, was arrested at the scene. Vasquez apparently met the girl in Capitola and gave her drugs until she was unable to move then called Antonio Quirino Salvador,34, and Hediberto Gonzalez Avarenga,31, to assist him with the kidnapping.
