Crime Log Entry of the Week
Tuesday, April 4 4:30 a.m.
An 18-year-old female student from White Hall reported that at approximately 2:00 a.m., she was awakened by two men entering her unlocked room. She said that her room was unlocked because she did not think that her roommates had their keys with them. One of the males held her wrists while another one held her ankles. The two men just laughed at her, remained in her room for a couple of minutes and then left. While they were in her room the phone rang, which one of the men answered and said that the female student was not there. About one hour later, her friend who had called earlier when the man answered came by the room. The two suspects came by the room again, still laughing, and denied the allegations when approached by the student and her friend. The names of the suspects are still unknown.
Monday, March 31 2 p.m. A Resident Assistant in Stetson West reported ongoing vandalism on the doors beyond the Community Receptionist desk leading into the center of the building. It appeared as if the damage resulted from people yanking on the door and bending the latch on the top over time.
3 p.m. A staff member in Hayden Hall reported a wallet stolen from the office. The wallet contained credit cards and some cash. It was left in the office for approximately one hour during lunch time and was taken out of a backpack on the floor of the office.

Tuesday, April 1 6 p.m. Sexually offensive drawings and other graffiti were reported on message boards on the fourth floor of White Hall.
8 p.m. The glass in a vending machine in the lobby of West Campus E was discovered broken. A student sitting in the lobby of the building heard the glass shatter and then saw a male leave the area. When the student asked the male if he had broken the glass he denied it and ran upstairs. The student reported the incident to an RA who recognized the student based on the description given. The Northeastern Police questioned the male and the student said that the glass on the vending machine was dislodged and when he reached in to get candy that the glass shattered. He will be referred to the Office of Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution (OSCCR).
Wednesday, April 2 2 p.m. A male graduate student reported the theft of his laptop from a graduate study area on the fourth floor of Dana Hall.

Since this occurred in the jurisdiction of the MBTA police, they were notified of the occurrence.
11:30 p.m. A female student in Kennedy Hall reported receiving an obscene phone call. She used caller ID to retrieve the number. The police called the number and got the voicemail of the person that called.
