We couldn't make up this story if we tried.

Police in Akron, Ohio are searching for a man who's come to be known as the "Bowel Movement Bandit." The man is accused of defecating on as many as 19 cars in residential neighbourhoods.

He wears a black beanie cap, a black hoodie and only poops on cars in the early-morning hours, police say. Lt. Rick Edwards of the Akron Police Department believes the suspect is mentally ill.

Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Akron police at 330-375-2552.
