A Columbus pair is accused of stealing a minivan on Friday after finding the keys inside it.

Columbus police found the vehicle in the 1300 block of Sycamore Street at about 9:15 Saturday morning. While checking the area for witnesses, they came across 23-year-old Brandon A. Kincheloe, who allegedly told police that he and his girlfriend, 18-year-old Mary L. Snyder found the vehicle with the keys in it and drove it to Sycamore Street, says Lt. Matt Harris, spokesman for the Columbus police department.

Kincheloe was arrested on a preliminary charge of auto theft. While being searched during her arrest, Snyder allegedly had a small bag of methamphetamine in her pants pocket, Harris says. She is facing charges of auto theft and possession of meth.
