Campus Watch: Below is a summary of campus activity reported to or observed by The University Police Department Patrol Officers between Wednesday, 07/30/14 and Thursday, 07/31/14. ASHBEL SMITH PARKING GARAGE, 710 West 6th Street Criminal Trespass Warning: A non-UT subject was stopped after being seen looking into several parked cars. The subject was issued a written criminal trespass warning after it was determined none of the cars had been broken into. Occurred on 07/30/14 9:51 AM. BRACKENRIDGE HALL DORMITORY, 207 East 21st Street Criminal Trespass / Assault by Contact: A staff member found a non-UT subject inside a basement level room. The staff member told the subject he would need to remain there until the police arrived. The subject used his open hand to push the staff member aside and fled the area. The subject was last seen running west by the PCL Library. The staff member used his cell phone to take video of the fleeing subject. The subject in the video was recognized as a non-UT subject who had previously been issued a written criminal trespass warning. The case is still under investigation. Occurred on 07/30/14 at 7:57 AM. GREGORY GYMNASIUM, 2101 Speedway Theft: Two pair of shoes, a gym bag, a work out shirt, a blue iPod shuffle and miscellaneous toiletries were stolen from a locker located inside the 2nd floor men’s locker room while the locker was “secured” with a combination pad lock. Loss value: $75.00. Occurred between 06/30/14 at 4:00 PM and 07/03/14 at 11:00 AM. Reported on 07/30/14 at 4:19 PM. Crime Prevention Tip: Combination pad locks do not offer a high degree of security. A motivated thief with the right tools (an empty soda can and tin snips) can open a “secured” combination pad lock in seconds leaving the lock undamaged. A brutish thief with a hammer can open a combination pad lock with minimal damage to the pad lock in even less time. To protect your valuables, invest in and use a keyed pad lock. MOLECULAR BIOLOGY BUILDING, 2500 Speedway Criminal Trespass Warning: A non-UT subject was reported as sleeping in the bicycle racks located on the east side of the building. When awakened, the subject was issued a written criminal trespass warning and escorted off of campus. Occurred on 07/31/14 at 1:12 AM. The University of Texas Police Department responded to 14 Alarm Reports, 3 Fire Alarm Activations, 14 Traffic Violations, 2 Unsecured Door Reports, 1 Malfunctioning Light Report, 1 Stuck Elevator, 1 Medical Emergency and 8 Suspicious Activity Reports between 07/30/14 and 07/31/14.
