Police have arrested two women accused of stealing hundreds of dollars' worth of their neighbor's Christmas ornaments.
According to Sweetwater Police, a surveillance camera captured two thieves as they drove up to the home of Ingrid Alemendarez and stole about $500 worth of the Christmas lawn decorations outside her home, Tuesday. "This is what we would consider a grand theft," said a Sweetwater Police detective.
"[They stole] Mickey Mouse on a horse, some hugging penguins, Snoopy on a dog house, and Santa on a sled."

On Thursday, Alemendarez led police to the house where she found her ornaments. 7 News captured exclusive video of police as they took into custody two women accused in the theft.
