[Che-student-staff-list] Security Issue - Thefts on Campus

[Valley, Jeffrey L]

BE ADVISED - Starting earlier this week the Police Department has been receiving complaints of theft which have occurred. This has been mainly on the side of south campus so far but is expected to spread. They are referring to these thefts as " Snatch and Go " since they believe it is a group of individuals working as a team who go into buildings, try to blend in , observe people coming and going from their offices and labs. They signal for one to enter a room that has been left unlocked ( 5-10 seconds ), pick up anything - phones, purses, laptops,  equipment, etc. and leave. The 1st passes the item to a 2nd person then on to the next and it is out of the building within minutes.

Simple solution - Please make sure your doors are locked if you exit a room and no one is inside.

With this weekends events of Spring Fest and Women of Engineering , which is in our building , there will be a larger than normal amount of people on campus so be aware and make sure your areas are secured.
Thank you

Jeff Valley
