CAPE CORAL, Fla. - Cape Coral police are searching for a shoplifter who got away after being run over twice by her own getaway car!

According to police, on Tuesday a woman went into the T.J. Maxx on Del Prado Boulevard and stuffed six expensive purses down her pants. She then ran outside to her getaway car, but when she went to get in she fell out. She was then run over by the car. She then jumped onto the hood of the car, fell off, and got run over again!

Police say the woman, the car, and the purses took off down the street, but in all the commotion a personal check flew out of the car.

Police have checked the names and addresses connected to the check but so far no arrests.

Shoppers say they're glad the alleged shoplifter was the only one hurt in the heist.

"She had no business first of all stealing, and then endangering other innocent victims, at the same time someone could have been killed," said Cape Coral shopper Carla Peterson.

Police say the woman was wearing beige scrubs and the getaway car was described as a silver Saturn.

If you have any information, call the Cape Coral Police Department or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-TIPS.
