A Florida mother was shoplifting at a big box store when her car suddenly caught fire with her two children trapped inside.
At least that’s what the New York Post reported on this event. Alicia Moore, 24, had parked near the Dillard’s store in a northeast suburb of Orlando, Florida. Her two young children were “not able to take care of themselves”, according to local police.
The young woman had first entered a store with a man, who is not yet identified, and began to steal objects, according to the police.
Almost an hour later, she found her car engulfed in fire.
Fortunately, following the explosion, witnesses would have thrown themselves towards the scene of the accident to help the children out of the vehicle. One of them suffered a first-degree burn to his face and ears, according to a police report.
The vehicle would have resulted in a total loss. The cause of the fire is still not clearly identified.
Alicia Moore was arrested days following the incident and was charged with aggravated child neglect and arson, as well as larceny and battery.
