A US woman has been arrested after reportedly calling 911 to report she was stealing a car from a dealership – so she "could do it legally".

Deputies say Christy Turman, 37, called the Lee County Sheriff's Office in Florida to report the crime.

"Because I'm trying to steal a car that's not legally mine! I'm making a report. I'm reporting this," Turman said to dispatch.

Turman was reportedly arrested and is facing trespassing charges.
