SPARTANBURG, S.C. (WSPA) — Police are looking for a man suspected of using mouse traps to steal cash, checks and money orders from multiple drop boxes in South Carolina.

According to the Spartanburg Police Department, the man used sticky paper mouse traps to get checks and envelopes from rent drop boxes at three different locations on Aug. 1 and 2.

Sticky traps work by trapping rodents with an adhesive glue board, usually made from cardboard or plastic.
