Homemade license plate on stolen car leads to California woman’s arrest

A California woman was arrested after she was spotted with a handwritten fake license plate on the back of a suspected stolen car.

The arrest happened on Friday morning in the city of Benicia, which is located about 30 miles north of San Francisco.

The suspect, 38-year-old Angel Rachiene Bolton, wrote the license plate numbers with a thick black marker on what police believed to be printer paper and then taped it to the back of a silver Kia Rio LX, which was reportedly stolen out of Alameda, according to the Benica Police Department.

“We know we are not superheroes, but just FYI this is NOT a way to get one over on us,” the Benica Police Department wrote on Facebook reportedly stolen out of Alameda.
