Arrest, release, repeat

A 25-year-old woman is in more trouble with the law after she was picked up for allegedly shoplifting at a local LCBO.

Police said the woman was arrested at around 11:40 a.m. Thursday on two counts of theft in connection with a separate case and released about a half an hour later.

A couple of hours after she was released, police said they picked her up again -- this time at a local liquor store where she was accused of stealing.

She was taken into custody pending a bail hearing.
