Weekend crime spree ends in arrests

A man and woman are behind bars after blazing a trail of crime in Western Pennsylvania, leaving in their wake a string of shootings, break-ins and stolen vehicles, authorities said.

Among the scores of victims in the violent weekend crime spree were two men — one of them 84 years old — robbed, badly beaten and left hospitalized with serious injuries.

The suspects — 25-year-old Tyler M. Amos of Cochranton, Crawford County, and 38-year-old Brandy Mae Rombold of Ellwood City — were eventually arrested in Ohio without a fight.

The cross-state capture was aided in part by the GPS tracking device that was on board their final getaway vehicle — an SUV stolen from a Cranberry Township home, according to investigators.
