    Feces Bandit on the Loose

    Police are searching for someone who is leaving human feces in various locations in Maryland Heights and Westport. It's been rubbed on the walls of public restrooms in restaurants,and wiped on snack machines. The Health Department says it's a hazard, but police are refusing to disclose where the unsanitary vandalism has happened. Should they tell?

MARYLAND HEIGHTS, MO (FOX2news.com) - Police say they're closing in on a man who has been spreading human feces on the walls and ceilings of restaurants all over town. Especially hard hit are public restrooms in the Westport area.

Detectives here are confident they know who this man is. They say all they have to do now is find him.

What officers won't say right now is where the acts of vandalism happened. This despite the fact that the St. Louis County Health Department says there is a health risk to touching a surface that hasn't been properly cleaned.
