FL Woman Arrested For Having 6-Year-Old Steal Package Off Property

A Deltona woman is behind bars after police say she sent a small child to steal a package from a home.

Volusia County Sheriff's officials say surveillance footage from that home showed 6-year-old boy getting out of a car, running to the home's front door, and taking the package Monday afternoon.

The homeowner told investigators the package contained a $30 battery for a garage door opener.

Santana Lindsey, 20, was arrested Wednesday.

Lindsey is charged with principal to burglary of a dwelling, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and child neglect. 

Jail records show she's being held on a $5,500 bond. 

The relationship between Lindsey and the boy was not disclosed, though police say she routinely cares for the boy.
