An Iowa woman is accused in a South Dakota shoplifting case that authorities say involved more than just a few items stuffed in a pocket.
Sioux Falls police say 51-year-old Becky Jean Altena from Sioux Center allegedly took $2,200 worth of items from the Lewis Drug Store, hauling stolen merchandise to her car in bags and then returning to the store for more.
Officers say they found 418 stolen items in Altena's car, ranging from books to jewelry.
Altena is charged with felony grand theft.
