Husband & Wife Crime Spree Ends With Traffic Stop

Police credit News 5 viewers for helping solve a crime.

According to Foley police, Daniel and Angela Northern broke into a car November 11th in the parking lot of Lambert's Cafe and stole a purse. Several minutes later, Angela was caught on surveillance cameras using a credit card from that purse at Rite Aid and Winn Dixie.

News 5 broadcast the surveillance photos Thursday and viewers called Foley police.

As it turns out, the Northerns were already behind bars when Foley police found them. They were pulled over Monday in Mobile when police say Angela ran a stop sign. The couple was arrested for possession of a controlled substance.

News 5 has learned the Foley case is part of a larger crime spree. The Northerns are also accused of breaking into a vehicle in Montgomery.
