YORKVILLE, MN -- Around 1:10 a.m. early Saturday morning, a woman stole several items from a business in the 2000 block of South Bridge Street, according to a police report.

The total value of stolen goods was $10.39.

At the 900 block of Erica Lane, a male customer entered a store with a backpack around 5:00 p.m. on Sunday. He asked questions about an aquarium bubbler, according to a police report. "An employee saw the male with the bubbler in his backpack as he walked around the store," the report said.

The male left, and the employee later realized the item had not been paid for.

The bubbler was worth $47.99.
