NEW YORK (WABC) -- A Manhattan woman is taking care of more than 600 turtles.



State environmental conservation agents seized the red-eared slider turtle hatchlings from a warehouse in Chinatown on Thursday.



Lorri Cramer has been taking care of them in her Upper West Side apartment ever since.



Cramer is licensed by the state to rehabilitate turtles, but now she does not know what to do with them all.
