A gang of American women who taunted police to "do ya job" during an alleged cross-state crime spree have been arrested.

The trio were wanted by police for a series of break-ins, robberies and car thefts across Georgia and Florida. They were apprehended much further north however, outside of Indianapolis in Indiana. 

Their arrest comes a week after they took to Instagram to tell police "do ya job", followed by an unknown expletive.

"That is exactly what Trooper Christopher Walts did," Indiana State Police said in a statement. "He did his job by putting these fugitives in jail after a short police chase."

They will be taken back to Georgia to face charges.
