IA - A West Des Moines man who for five years has allegedly been leaving raw meat, dolls and other trinkets on a neighbor’s property has been caught on film and now faces harassment charges, according to police.

Last fall, police installed a trail camera, commonly used to track deer and other wildlife, in hopes of catching the suspect in the act.
