Pregnant woman seeks help, allegedly robs homes

[November 21, 2009]  WICHITA, Kan. (AP) -- Wichita police arrested a pregnant woman after she allegedly robbed homes after asking residents for help.

Police said the woman, who is eight months pregnant, had been telling people in west Wichita that her car broke down and she needed to call someone for a ride.

Once the residents let her inside their homes, she allegedly took money from the homes. Police said she hit at least three houses in Wichita and is suspected in similar crimes in Goddard and Maize.

The woman was taken into custody Thursday night.
