I’m not sure why someone would want to break into a waste water treatment plant; maybe there are compounds that can be used to make meth (or I’ve watched too much Breaking Bad). According to WLWT, someone who broke into an Indiana facility might have also exposed themselves to a bunch of pathogenic E.coli.
Police say a burglar or burglars who entered a wastewater treatment plant in southeast Indiana should enter a doctor’s office soon.
Versailles police said that sometime late Saturday or early Sunday, someone broke into the plant, stole several items and vandalized other items.
But the burglar or burglars may have taken something else with them, police said.
“During the burglary the suspect(s) came into contact with strains of E. coli that were in an incubator so they need to seek medical attention immediately!!” police said in a Facebook post.
