Man leaves hospital, breaks into office, steals company car

 

A man wearing a heart monitor reportedly broke into Psara Technologies on Sunday night and stole a company car. 

Before he came to the Psara Technologies building, James Kee, 57, left IU Health Bloomington Hospital against medical advice, Bloomington Police Department Lt. John Kovach said. He left with his telemetry monitor still on, which measures a heart’s electrical activity. 

After leaving the hospital, Kee traveled to Psara Technologies' office at 1550 West Third St., Kovach said. He broke into the office using an angle iron to break through the glass on the door. Kee ransacked the office, but Kovach said nothing appeared stolen.

Kee then stole the vehicle, a 2000 Toyota Tacoma, and drove it down the road. After receiving a call from a Psara Technologies employee at 5 a.m. Monday, police found the car near South College Avenue and West Third Street. Kee had walked away from the vehicle, but he left his heart monitor inside. 

Police used the monitor to identify Kee. When the police were able to find him Monday morning, he refused to talk when they took him in for questioning. Kee was arrested for burglary and vehicle theft.
