A Bellevue woman was ticketed on suspicion of shoplifting after employees at Mangelsen’s store said they saw her using her service dog to steal more than $500 worth of merchandise.

Officers were called to the store near 84th and Grover Streets about 3 p.m. Sunday, according to an Omaha Police Department report. Employees told police they saw a 20-year-old woman placing some items in a shopping cart before concealing others in her purse and the pouch of her service dog’s vest.

The woman paid for the items in the shopping cart, but she allegedly left the store without attempting to purchase $524 in art supplies. Employees brought the woman and her dog to the store’s office and police were called.
