SPANAWAY, Wash. - Pierce County Sheriff's deputies have arrested the woman accused of stealing a seven-year-old girl's bicycle from her driveway in Spanaway, Washington.
The theft, caught on surveillance video captured the morning of June 19, shows a woman with a cigarette in her mouth walking down the driveway of the home, picking up a red Spider-Man bicycle and carrying it back to a waiting vehicle parked on the street.
The bike belonged to seven-year-old Amelia, and it was a gift from her father, who was teaching her how to ride it before he passed away.
