Crime Rundown: Man tries to steal breast pumps, son assaults father over electronics

 

Man tries to steal breast pumps

A man attempting to steal roughly $2,000 worth of breast pumps Friday afternoon from the IU Health Bloomington Hospital at 601 W. 2nd Street failed to take the stolen pumps any further than the hospital's parking lot.

Bloomington Police Sgt. George Connolly said the suspect, a 30-year-old man, was in the maternity ward of the hospital when he took a box filled with five breast pumps from outside an office in the maternity ward. 

It is not clear why the man was in the maternity ward.

The stolen box was later recovered from the man's vehicle in the hospital parking lot.


Son assaults father over electronics

On Friday evening, a 14-year-old male assaulted his 42-year-old father while the father was removing electronics from his son's possession.

The domestic disturbance occurred at South Oakdale Drive. 

Connolly said the father was removing electronics from his son's possession as a punishment when the physical altercation occurred. 

The case is still active.
