Security Information Bulletin

ARREST – THEFT FROM AUTO (off-campus)

A male suspect was observed breaking out the window of a vehicle that was parked and unoccupied in the 900 block of N. Castle Street at approximately 10 a.m. by a Corporate Security hidden surveillance team who had been deployed to the area because of a number of similar incidents in the last few weeks. After breaking the window, the suspect entered and removed some unknown property. The suspect was approached and detained by officers assigned to Corporate Security’s Special Response Unit who were involved in the deployment.

The vehicle owner was identified as an employee of one of the contractors working on the new clinical buildings. The victim said that a pair of sunglasses and an unknown amount of pocket change were removed from his vehicle. All property was recovered. The suspect was subsequently taken into custody by responding officers from the Eastern District. Charges are pending.

Faculty, staff and students are asked to remain vigilant and not leave property of any kind that is visible to the public in their vehicles.
