Deep in Debt, N.J. Family Robs Bank

BARNEGAT, N.J. - Kathleen Wortman Jones was just another financially strapped New Jersey homeowner until the day she drove up to the Sun National Bank with her 14-year-old twin daughters.

Desperate to save her house from foreclosure, the 34-year-old mother of four served as the getaway driver after the girls robbed the bank of $3,050.

The heist involved the entire family, according to prosecutors. In addition to Jones and the twins, a 16-year-old daughter was arrested for conspiracy and husband Kevin Jones was charged as an accessory.

But it was the participation of the girls that stunned police.

"Fourteen-year-old girls steal lipstick, not rob banks," said Detective Michael Duffy. "The fact that such young girls - children, really - were involved in such a serious crime does set you back a little."
