man arrested for stealing girls' shoes 'liked to smell them'
WAUKESHA — Police recovered more than 1,500 pairs of girls’ shoes stolen from Waukesha schools from a man arrested for burglary, Lt. William H. Graham said today.
“He liked to smell them,” Graham said.
The 27-year-old Kenosha man worked for a cable company and collected keys to the schools as he responded to calls, he said.
Police arrested him after a security video showed him entering North High School on May 20 and leaving with some items. They tracked the man through his vehicle registration.
On Thursday, officers searched the man’s home and a rented storage unit, recovering the shoes. They also found school yearbooks, keys, a bolt cutter and other items they said could be related to the burglaries of three Waukesha public high schools and one middle school during the past two years.
The man was expected to be charged in Waukesha County Circuit Court today, Capt. Mike Babe said. Police said they believe he broke into the schools to steal tennis shoes.
The man has a previous conviction for stealing shoes from Kenosha Tremper High School in 2005.
