A group of juveniles had more than a craving for candy when they asked a woman to share her sweets with them, instead using the opportunity to allegedly shove her to the ground and steal her car.
Senior Sergeant Brett Everest said a group of Cherbourg juveniles approached the 35-year-old woman outside a church at about 5pm on Thursday, June 30, and asked her for some candy.
