(BLOOMINGTON) - Bloomington police have arrested one man for stealing items from an ambulance.
43-year-old Jeffrey Nielsen is charged with 2 preliminary counts of theft and trespassing. A Bloomington emergency medical technician reportedly found Nielsen rifling through medical bags when he called police.

Nielsen was lodged in the Monroe County jail as a result.
