Greater Sudbury police were called to the Real Canadian Superstore on Lasalle Boulevard on Nov. 5 to handle a shoplifting complaint.

A 30-year-old Sudbury woman had filled her cart with $349 worth of groceries while going up and down the aisles like a normal shopper. Included in the groceries was a bag of dog food for her neighbor's dog.

She then walked out of the store thinking no one was watching, state police in a press release.

The woman has been charged with theft and is scheduled to appear in court to answer to the charges in December.
