Incident Reports
There were three incident reports last week, all in Wilson Library
Incident reports filed by library staff & student workers:
11/30--A wallet was reported stolen from a backpack that was left unattended. The police were called but the victim had no other information.
11/30--A patron reported the attempted theft of a backpack. The patron was looking for a book on the shelf and observed someone reaching for his backpack, not once but twice. The patron started to walk back to the backpack and the suspect left the area. The police were called and checked the area for the suspect, with "negative results".
12/03-Security monitor reported that a patron approached him and informed him that two individuals had attempted to steal the patron's laptop. The police were called and detained an individual who fit a description given by the patron. The patron did not want to confront the individual, so the police took a photograph--the patron was not able to positively identify the individual and the police released the individual. The security monitor then asked Central Security to review footage from the security cameras in Wilson. Two individuals who matched the patron's description were identified on the footage and that information was passed on to the UMPD.
