Montana  mom accused of driving her son and his friends around city to steal items from cars

GREAT FALLS, Mont. (AP) -- A 37-year-old woman was accused of driving her son and his friends around the city as the teens stole items from cars. Police learned about the case Saturday morning when the woman's husband called authorities to report he found a pile of stuff in his back yard that he suspected had been stolen. Court records said over $3,000 in items were stolen, including a set of golf clubs and power tools.

The woman was charged with accountability to theft and accountability to criminal trespass to a vehicle, along with endangering the welfare of children.

Two 18-year-olds also face the accountability charges and five juveniles were arrested in the case.
