Stolen laptop

Police do not know who took a $3,299 laptop from a campus building Wednesday, reports stated.

An operations manager at the Music building, 1017 N. Olive Ave., told police that the laptop was last seen at 10:15 a.m. inside a first-floor control room. Employees noticed the computer missing approximately 25 minutes later.

Employees said that there are usually a lot of people around the control room. If the computer was stolen, the thief must have stolen the computer on one of the occasions when the room was unoccupied, reports stated.

Police believe the suspect entered the room, which is locked by an electronic combination keypad, through a large sliding-glass window. Employees noticed the door-sized window was left open just after the computer was missing. Police tried to take fingerprints off the computer cord, but were unsuccessful, reports stated.

The employee who last saw the computer and the students with whom he was working, told officers they didn't notice anyone suspicious in the area, reports stated.

There are no suspects or witnesses.
