Both women were taken to the DuPage County jail.

Two Glendale Heights women were jailed after the cops caught them with heroin and an unsecured child in their car, police said.

Margaret Taylor, 49, and Kristin Kestner, 26, both of 78 Joseph Lane were charged with possession of a controlled substance and failing to secure a child. Kestner was also wanted for failing to appear in court on a retail theft charge, police said.

The cops—who were onto two the women due to a previous drug and theft investigation—pulled their car over for failing to signal a turn about 12:45 p.m. Thursday at the corner of North Avenue and Route 83, police said.

Officers found the heroin on Taylor, police said. Kristin was still in the DuPage County jail Friday but Taylor had been released.

The police did not reveal what they did with the unsecured child.
