Pregnant Woman Accused of Serial Burglaries

(Harrison, Ohio) A 26-year-old local mother who is also pregnant in her third trimester, Samantha Brewer, has been accused of committing multiple burglaries while leaving her children to wait in the car.

Brewer faces multiple charges including burglary, attempted burglary and child endangerment.

Brewer was arrested for breaking into six homes – and attempting to break into four others in broad daylight.

"I believe that all of the articles that she had taken were immediately sold or pawned for the cash," says Lieutenant Steve Wilson, of the Harrison police department.

"I just don't understand. I mean we are all her friends. She could have came to us," sobs [neighbor Teresa] Parker. "I wouldn't have thought any less about her. I would have tried to help her."

Perhaps more alarming is the charge by the police that Brewer brought her five-year-old son Dylan along in this SUV on at least four of the crimes.

Brewer was booked into custody with bond set at $275,000.
