University Police responded to reports of Title IX-related telephone misuse, theft and vandalism, among other incidents in the past week, according to police reports.

Title IX-related telephone/email misuse

On Jan. 30 at 10:58 p.m., University Police responded to Centreville Hall for a report of telephone/email misuse. Between Jan. 29 at 10 a.m. and Jan. 30 at 8 p.m., the victim received two phone calls from a blocked number. The calls were sexual in nature, and the victim has no knowledge of who the caller was, according to the report.

Officers provided information to the victim from the Office of Civil Rights and Sexual Misconduct. The investigation remains active.

Theft

Officers responded to the area of Preinkert Drive toward Prince Frederick Hall on Jan. 29 at 4:46 p.m. for a theft in progress. Security Operations Center cameras in this area revealed a group of seven students walking with a “Road Closed” street sign.

When confiscating the sign, officers learned the theft had not occurred that day, but had taken place in the past. All seven students were referred to the Office of Student Conduct. This case is closed.

On Feb. 1 at 2:16 p.m., officers responded to La Plata Hall for a theft. The victim, a male student at this university, had left his room for a short time. When he returned, he noticed his laptop and charging cable were missing.

Officers are looking at cameras in the area and talking to students living in La Plata Hall to see if they noticed anything out of the ordinary during this time frame.

“We want to remind people that even if you’re leaving your room for five minutes, close your room, secure it and don’t leave it open,” University Police spokeswoman Sgt. Rosanne Hoaas said. “Whether you’re just going down the hallway or to the restroom, always secure your door.”

The investigation for this incident is ongoing.

Vandalism

On Jan. 28 at 8:18 p.m., University Police responded to Lot 11b for a report of vandalism. The victim, a male student at this university, reported to police that his rear windshield was shattered.

This incident is believed to have occurred between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. Officers plan to review area camera footage as the investigation continues.

Burglary

On Feb. 1 at 10:34 a.m., University Police responded to Maryland Stadium for a report of a burglary of a concession stand. Someone had used force to open the overhead door to the stand and gain entry. This incident is believed to have taken place between Jan. 27 at 1 p.m. and the time of police response on Monday.

At this time, nothing has been reported as taken, according to the report.

While officers were on the scene for the burglary, they were notified by another individual that a team merchandise stand had also been broken into. Officers noticed that the roll-up gate to this stand had been damaged and bent to provide a gap for entry.

It is unknown if anything was taken from this stand, according to the report.

Both locations have been processed for evidence, and police plan to review area camera footage as the investigation continues.
