Lake County Sheriff Canine Boomer helped track down a woman who allegedly stole from a convenience store in Beach Park and claimed she had a weapon, authorities said.

The Lake County Sheriff’s Office received a call around 6:45 a.m. Thursday of an incident in the 38500 block of North Sheridan Road in Beach Park.

Deputies responded to a convenience store for a report of a theft, the sheriff’s office said.
