Repeat burglar steals condoms, Gatorade
A store owner says a thief broke in an swiped cigarettes, loose change, condoms and Gatorade.

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Condoms, loose change, cigarettes, and Gatorade: that's what a grocery store owner says a four-time burglar swiped in a smash-and-grab-style burglary early this morning in north Houston.

Video of the man was caught on the store's surveillance cameras.

Police say the man crashed into the Supermercados Teloloapan store in the 100 block of Aldine Bender near Imperial Valley at 1:54am and was inside the building for five minutes.

The store owner says the same man breaks in about every two weeks and this is at least the fourth time he's broken in.

The suspect remains at-large.

Stephanie Ayala, the store owner's daughter, said, "We are a small, family business and it's very unfortunate that we keep having the same problem with the same person. And we really want to find this man and do justice."
