HALIFAX—A 22-year-old woman has been charged with threatening the owners of a dog who stole her shoes at a local beach.

In a news release on Tuesday, Nova Scotia RCMP said they were called to Conrad’s Beach in Lawrencetown, N.S., about 35 minutes from Halifax, just before 10 a.m. on Monday.

Police said two women, 30 and 24 years old, were walking their dog on the beach when the dog picked up a pair of shoes.

“Unknown to the two women, the shoes contained a cellphone and a vape,” a statement said from the RCMP.

“The dog was using the shoes as a toy when the 22-year-old woman, who was further down the beach and owner of the shoes, is alleged to have become irate while running toward the women, threatening to cause harm to them.”

The woman was arrested at the scene and police said she’s facing two counts of uttering threats.

She’s since been released from custody, and is scheduled to appear in Dartmouth provincial court in October.
