Two mothers who went on a shoplifting spree in a Pompano Beach WalMart with three young children in tow were arrested Tuesday, authorities said.

Christine Aleksin, 27, and Jennifer Ingham, 28, are facing child neglect and retail theft charges, according to Broward Sheriff's Office arrest reports.

Aleksin and Ingham, of Oakland Park, were arrested and booked into jail. It was unknown if they've hired attorneys.
