LOCKPORT – A Wrights Corners woman surrendered to Lockport police Wednesday and was charged with stealing a dog valued at $1,080 from a pet store Feb. 14.
Karen A. Kostyo, 36, of Lockport-Olcott Road, is charged with third-degree burglary and fourth-degree grand larceny.
Police said they viewed a surveillance video taken at Pets Plus, 421 West Ave., in which a woman walking a beagle took it through a door marked “Employees Only” and removed a black-and-white Papillon dog from a cage before handing the beagle off to another woman.
Officer Rodney Peters and Detective Kevin Schrader interviewed Kostyo at her home Monday, and she agreed to turn herself in.
