This week’s segment of WINK Neighborhood Watch features a reckless driver, an attempted murder, and inappropriate conduct at a Dairy Queen.

Evelyn Espino Galvez has been arrested after allegedly stealing a car and then leading Cape Coral police on a chase.

According to CCPD, officers were responding to a motor vehicle theft. The victim told officers that while visiting a friend for a few minutes and leaving her car running in the driveway, she had caught a woman stealing and driving away with the car.
