A suspect in a pair of February car thefts was turned over to the Cayuga County Sheriff's Office on Wednesday.
In a Friday news release, Sheriff Brian Schenck said that Bobbilea Skinner, 34 of Massena, stole a car in the town of Mentz on Feb. 29.
Skinner allegedly crashed the car into a ditch on Lake Road in the town of Genoa, and witnesses reported she left the scene on foot. She then entered a nearby home and took the keys to another vehicle that she used to escape, Schenck said.
On March 1, police in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, contacted the Cayuga County Sheriff's Office to say they had located the second stolen car and taken Skinner into custody. She was held there on local charges until being released from custody this week.
