WATERLOO (AP) — A northeast Iowa man has been arrested for trying to steal surveillance equipment.

Police say Terrance Mitchell of Denver twice tried to take surveillance equipment from a home improvement store. Court records say that one of the thefts was caught by the store's security cameras.

Records say that workers saw Mitchell and another man stuff surveillance camera merchandise into a bag and walk out an entrance on July 7.

Mitchell eluded employees chasing him down but dropped the bag.

The store says it also has security footage of the two taking security cameras in early June.

Black Hawk County sheriffs deputies arrested Mitchell on a warrant for second-degree theft Sunday.
