Mom tries to lift daughter's spirits by boosting goodies

So your 13-year-old daughter's down in the dumps. Seems she got into a fight with her friends earlier in the day.

What better way to lift the spirits than a little shoplifting spree?

Cops say that's basically what Robin Bas told them.

They caught the attention of a loss prevention officer at a Beall's Department store where they were seen picking out some clothes and jewelry.

They went into a dressing room and came out without the items, according to police.

The two were intercepted in the parking lot, escorted back inside and the cops were called.

The loot was found in a bag they were carrying.

The daughter said they were working together as a team.

Mom said she was just trying to make her daughter happy.

Mom accused of duct-taping daughter's boyfriend

Authorities say a San Bernardino County woman has been arrested for allegedly trying to kidnap her daughter's boyfriend and haul him away to Northern California.

A sheriff's spokeswoman said Tuesday that Anna Gaffney and Linda Chevalier went to the young man's home on Saturday afternoon and tried to tie him up with duct tape. The victim told authorities the women said they were taking him to Northern California to get him away from Gaffney's 21-year-old daughter.

Authorities say both women were arrested on suspicion of attempted kidnapping.

Officials say the girlfriend was later arrested for investigation of dissuading a witness and extortion for allegedly trying to get her boyfriend to recant his statements to authorities.
