DECEMBER 11, 2023

This Timely Warning Crime Bulletin is being issued on 12/11/2023 in compliance with the Jeanne Clery Act, and the purpose is to provide preventative information to the campus community to aid members from becoming the victim of a similar crime. While these notices are primarily an attempt to increase safety awareness, they also serve to dispel myths and rumors regarding campus crimes or incidents.

Clery Crime: Theft of a Motor Vehicle

The University Police Department (UPD) received the following crime information:

On 12/11/2023 UPD received a call at 9:54 a.m. regarding a theft of a motor vehicle near Building 55 (CPP Enterprises). At approximately 9:50 a.m., an unknown suspect entered the victim’s vehicle and drove away. The victim, who had just stepped away momentarily, noticed what was occurring and returned to the vehicle. The victim attempted to intervene but was unsuccessful and was dragged for a short distance.      

 Anyone with information that may assist in the investigation is urged to call UPD at 909-869-3070. Anonymous tips can be provided by calling the Anonymous Tip Hotline at 909-869-3399.
