Two crimes for the price of one: meth, theft

A couple of capital car thieves paid a high price for their absent mindedness on Friday.

After successfully making off with a Toyota Camry on Friday morning, the thieves were tracked down by the cops and cornered.

Adding to their impending legal woes, the carjackers left a small bag of meth in the stolen vehicle, the discovery of which by police prompting a drugs test which came up positive.

Perhaps post–theft meth isn’t the brightest of celebratory ideas.
