ROTTERDAM -- Two Schenectady women have been accused of brutally beating an 88-year-old woman, including throwing bleach in her eyes, after following her home from a town shopping plaza to rob her, town police said today.

Police said the women identified as Tiffany Tolliver, 21, of Albany Street, and Dominique Lucas, 21, of Maple Avenue, followed the victim to her Rotterdam apartment, leaving Tolliver's 2-week-old child in their car.

Tolliver and Lucas then allegedly went inside, beat the woman, stole her purse and threw the bleach in her eyes. A neighbor saw them leaving in a white Cadillac, which police found later at the Hannaford Plaza off Altamont Avenue in Schenectady. Tolliver and Lucas allegedly had already bought $450 in clothes from the A.J. Wright.

And it gets better . . .

Tolliver and Lucas have been charged with first-degree robbery and are being held in Schenectady County Jail without bail. Besides the 2-week-old found in the Cadillac, police later found Tolliver's 17-month-old toddler alone at her apartment. Both children were taken into the state's protective custody. Also, Lucas is eight months pregnant, according to police.

Plus, one had an outstanding warrant and the other pending charges.

So they are dirt bag criminals AND bad parents. Delightful members of society, huh?
