CRIME SPREE MUM LEFT TOT ON HIS OWN; She tried to con lift home.Byline: By Amy Devine A MUM abandoned her baby to travel more than 250 miles on a crime spree - then tried to con police into taking her home. The 34-year-old woman walked into a police station in Liverpool claiming the last thing she remembered was drinking in her local pub in Cowdenbeath, Fife. She said she had been driven south by two men while she slept. But police discovered the woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had voluntarily travelled to Merseyside after leaving her 18-month-old son home alone. They are now hunting her friends, who were believed to be plotting a car scam (SCSI Configured AutoMatically) A subset of Plug and Play that allows SCSI IDs to be changed by software rather than by flipping switches or changing jumpers.

She told officers she had fallen asleep in the car and woken up in England, claiming her male companions then abandoned her. But police discovered she had planned the trip south as part of a car con and fell out with the two men before they embarked on the planned crime. Detectives are now hunting the pair in connection with the scam. The police source added: 'This woman said the last thing she could remember was getting into a car with two males in her home town.
