CONROE, Texas – What was once believed to be a case of a stolen car and a kidnapping turned out to be two young granddaughters taking their grandmother's car for a joy ride, according to police.
Police said when a Conroe Police Department officer spotted the car, the 12-year-old did not pull over, starting a chase with his 7-year-old in the vehicle.
