The women abandoned the scooters and fled the scene in a yellow Hummer.
Police were unable to catch the Hummer.
“The women took the Hummer off-road,” a policeman on the scene said. “We had just a couple of regular patrol cars and couldn’t follow them. Was really muddy. The Hummer disappeared into the woods and we never saw them again,” reports Moron.
