Two Southampton women who admitted to stealing were caught after forgetting to take the emergency brake off after leaving a store in Riverhead, police said Friday.

A State Police trooper in Riverhead saw a car with smoking tires Wednesday matching the description of the one in the robbery, stopped it and thought the driver appeared nervous, State Police said.

Eventually, the woman admitted she and her passenger "stole stuff," police said.

The driver, Rachel Gebhardt, 25, of 192 Miller Rd., Southampton, and the passenger, Shalaya Gatlin, 20, of 65 Hillcrest Terrace, Southampton, were charged with petty larceny, police said.

State Police said Riverhead Town police got a call that there was a larceny in progress at TJ Maxx on Wednesday at 4:08 p.m.

Had a coach to forgot to take the brake off the team van when we stopped for gas on the way to a tournament back in HS. About 5 minutes down the road one of the guys asked “What’s that smell?” We had quite a bit of laughs for the rest of the tournament and every tournament after.

Just goes to prove that you don’t need a college degree to be a thief.

But, officer! I thought it was a Prius and was protecting the owner from a horrible crash.
