But inside the stroller wasn’t a baby — just money, officials said. When police saw all the change, Fritz tried to flee the scene, The Bakersfield Californian reported.
Authorities said after she was apprehended, Fritz led police to the home she had allegedly just burglarized.
Fritz was arrested and charged with suspicion of burglary, possession of stolen property, possession of burglary tools, possession of methamphetamine, resisting arrest and two outstanding misdemeanor warrants.
