The Anderson County Sheriff's Office says two women have been caught after being accused of stealing one of their cruisers Wednesday night.
Incident started at the Dollar Tree on the 28 Bypass. Deputies arrived on a shoplifting call. There were two suspects being sought, and a few minutes later, deputies had both in custody. They were handcuffed, and put into a patrol car. The deputy then took them back to the Dollar Tree and was outside the vehicle talking with the manager when one of the women kicked in the cage, got into the front seat, and drove off. They abandoned the car near Monitor and Auburn Drive. They went to a local home and asked" for a ride", but deputies soon arrived and they took off.
Both women were caught around 10:30pm Wednesday night in the Monitor Road near the Hwy 28 Bypass. We're told warrants will be signed soon. The Anderson County Sheriff's Office plans to release more details Thursday morning.
