Iowa State University Police may know who stole from the Iowa Hawkeyes during the annual CyHawk game, according to a report in the Cedar Rapids Gazette.

Nine Hawkeye team members and coaches reported the theft of personal items including cell phones and about $50 in cash after winning the Iowa-Iowa State game at Jack Trice Stadium.

Police told the Gazette that they believe they know who stole the items from the locker room and continue to follow leads, but declined to reveal any suspects because it would interfere with the investigation.
