Local police agencies were put on the lookout Wednesday for a small black Fiat SUV believed to be connected to a recent theft from Rural King on Market Street in Waterloo.

Waterloo police are investigating a theft from Rural King that occurred Friday, with the suspects being a White female and a White male who left in the Fiat. These suspects reportedly returned to Rural King early Wednesday afternoon. It was not immediately known if anything was stolen on this latest visit.
