PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Police say a woman stole a taxi in Philadelphia and picked up a fare.
They say the 65-year-old woman caught the cab around midnight Thursday and asked to be taken to the SugarHouse Casino. On the way, she asked the driver to make a stop at a gas station.
It was at the station where police say the woman jumped into the driver’s seat and drove off.
Police stopped the taxi 30 minutes later and found a 23-year-old woman and her infant daughter in the backseat.
The mother told officers she had hailed the cab earlier, not realizing it was stolen.
