Women allegedly live streamed video of themselves in a stolen vehicle ... and then the police showed up

Two women from Ohio were arrested after police say they live streamed video of themselves on Facebook while they were in a stolen vehicle.

Berea police said an anonymous caller contacted them on Monday to say that a woman on his Facebook feed was live streaming while she was at Wendy’s on Prince Royal Drive in Berea in a stolen vehicle.

Police went to the Wendy’s and found the vehicle, with an “improper” license plate, in the parking lot of a nearby Dollar Tree, Berea police said in a news release.

Dispatchers were able to use the vehicle identification number to confirm that the vehicle had been reported stolen in Ohio.

The two women inside, Amy Hubbard, 36, of Norwood, Ohio, and Destiny Neubacher, 22, of Cincinnati, both had warrants for their arrest in Ohio.

The women were arrested and taken to the Madison County Detention Center on charges of receiving stolen property valued at less than $10,000, as well as their warrants from Ohio.
