Woman steals 2 cars within 1 week
A woman is wanted on separate arrest warrants for allegedly taking two cars less than a week apart this month.
Robin R. Lieser, 48, who has no known address, is accused of driving away in a 2002 Hundyai Accent on July 14 after she allegedly broke into a home on the 400 block of South Washington Street in Butler.
The victim, who knows Lieser, told city police that the car was parked outside her home. She discovered it missing when she awoke from sleep.
According to court documents, the victim contacted the defendant, who admitted taking the vehicle.
State police allege Lieser and Billie Jo Bowers, 51, of Butler stole a couple's 2015 Chevrolet Cruz on July 8 after staying overnight at the victims' home on Grey Avenue in Winfield Township.
Butler police on July 9 found Bowers and Lieser walking in the city. They led officers to the reportedly stolen Chevy, documents said.
“Lieser admitted to driving the vehicle,” according to a police affidavit.
She was taken to the Butler County Prison on an unrelated bench warrant.
Lieser was later released from the prison.
State police four days later charged her and Bowers with taking the Chevy.
