LINCOLN - Lincoln Police have arrested a woman after she reportedly stole two car, and several items from a Lincoln shopping mall.

Authorities arrested 26-year-old Hannah Rice on Monday on charges including unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, traffic violations and unrelated warrants.

Police say Rice's alleged crime spree started on July 5th, when a Von Maur employee saw Rice take about $500 worth of clothing from the store.

On August 15th, the manager of El Charro Auto Sales in Lincoln reported a woman requested to test drive a vehicle. Police say she never returned with it.

Four days later, Rice requested to drive another car at a different dealership. Police say she never returned that vehicle either.

Officers tracked down the second car, saw Rice get out of it, and arrested her.
