Orem police are looking for a burglar packing a bandage.

About 2:30 a.m. Thursday, someone threw a rock through the window to break into Mr. E's Sports Card, 720 S. State Street, said Orem police Sgt. Craig Martinez. Then would-be burglar cut himself or herself on the broken glass while trying to get into the store.

Police believe the person was frightened by the cut and store alarm and fled, leaving a trail of blood away from the store. The trail stopped at a parking spot at a nearby apartment complex about 200 feet away.

Nothing appears to have been taken from the store, Martinez said.
