University Police respond to burglary, vandalism, theft

University of Maryland Police responded to reports of vandalism and a burglary this week, among other incidents, according to police reports.

Burglary

On July 28 at about 6:30 p.m., University Police responded to Cumberland Hall for a report of a burglary. Two girls, who are not students at this university but were staying on the campus for a camp, had personal property stolen from their dorm room, police spokeswoman Sgt. Rosanne Hoaas said. The property was stolen some time between July 26 at 6 p.m. and July 28 at 6 p.m.

The girls were not in the room at the time of the burglary, Hoaas said, and police cannot provide more details about what property was stolen because the case is still active.

Vandalism

University Police responded to the public health school on July 28 at 8:45 a.m. for a report of vandalism. Offensive language was written on the walls and on a dry erase board between July 27 at 5 p.m. and July 28 at 4 a.m. A male university employee reported the writing.

“We don’t know exactly the specifics of the dry erase board,” Hoaas said, “but what we do know on the wall was offensive language.” Police did not give specifics about the offensive language.

Theft

University Police responded to the 9300 block of Baltimore Avenue for a theft that occurred on campus on July 29 at about 6:40 p.m. A man reported that his registration plate had been stolen at some point between 11 a.m. and 12:53 p.m. the same day, Hoaas said. Police will review security cameras.
