HIBBING, Minn. — Hibbing police say a man who broke into a liquor store in the city early Wednesday bypassed more-expensive items and instead fled with three cases of Keystone beer.

Authorities are asking for the public’s help in identifying the man who committed the burglary at Some Beach Liquor store, 12034 U.S. 169 on the south side of town.

Hibbing police shared surveillance images of a man taking three cases of Keystone beer at 5:22 a.m., after he had smashed a back-door window to gain entry.

A worker at the liquor store, who asked not to be identified, said the total price of the three 18-packs of 16-ounce cans was $44.99. He figured the cost to replace the door with tempered glass would be a couple thousand dollars.

“I’m calling him the ‘Keystone bandit,'” the employee said. “What a silly thing to do: steal a few cases of beer and risk going to jail.”
