BLAIR COUNTY - Marcene Turnbaugh's three-year old grandniece Madaen loves her Power Wheels Toyota Princess Jeep.
"They usually keep it right here on the porch during the summer because she rides it up here when she comes up," said Turnbaugh.
When the Power Wheels Jeep went missing from Madaen's grandmother's house, it didn't take long to find out where it went.
"I saw someone going up the street with a kid in that jeep," said Turnbaugh.
Allegedly, Faith Carper of Tyrone took the Power Wheels Jeep from Madaen's grandmother's porch and let her two-year old daughter drive away with it.
Madean's mother caught up with Carper and the Power Wheels Jeep near the Rossi Corner store in Tyrone, and took it back.
Police were notified, a criminal complaint has been filed, and Carper is now scheduled for a preliminary hearing November 27.
