A Seminole County woman is facing charges after allegedly shoplifting at a store while two of her children were left in the car.
Thursday, deputies responded to a Target in Lake Mary around 5 p.m. regarding reports of shoplifting.
According to an arrest report, Latasha Brooks, 31, had one of her children with her when she went into Target and left two of her other children alone in the car.
The arrest report states, “The car was off while two of the children were sitting inside waiting for their mother to come back out.”
