Pa. burglar allegedly got ride to scene from mom
GROVE CITY, Pa. — A western Pennsylvania man has been ordered to stand trial on charges he burglarized a home after getting a ride to the crime scene from his mom. That woman, 50-year-old Judith Martin, of Cochranton, still faces a preliminary hearing Feb. 3 on conspiracy and other charges she faces in the Jan. 13 break-in allegedly committed by her son, 20-year-old Robert Martin.
Police said Robert Martin took knives, jewelry, a telephone answering machine and other items from the home in Liberty Township, Mercer County. That’s about 50 miles north of Pittsburgh.
Police said a neighbor recognized Martin and police said they later found some of the stolen items at his mother’s house.
Neither Martin has a listed telephone and online records don’t list attorneys for them.
