Iowa Man Breaks into Bank to Steal Hand Sanitizer, Police Say

An Iowa man has been charged in connection to a string of burglaries in which the only thing that appears to have been taken was hand sanitizer.

The Sioux City Police Department arrested 39-year-old suspect Mark Gray after police were called to three reports of burglaries which took place in the space of a few hours.

On August 4 at 1:42 a.m. local time, police were called to a report of a burglary at the Counseling & Support Services building after a suspect broke a window to gain entry inside.

Police said it was not known at the time of the investigation if anything was missing from the center on 421 Nebraska Street.

Probably figured it was easier than trying to break into a safe.
