Two students studying in the MSU Main Library reported being robbed by the same man Wednesday evening, MSU police Sgt. Florene McGlothian-Taylor said. A 26-year-old Cooley Law School student reported a $40 red and black backpack, two $40 flash drives, a $1,500 Toshiba laptop and $40 Internet card missing from the area where he was studying, McGlothian-Taylor said. The student reported he had left his items to use the phone between 6:10-6:30 p.m. When he returned, those items were missing, McGlothian-Taylor said. The suspect is described as a college-age man between 5-foot-10 and 6 feet, medium build and with long black hair. The 30-year-old student reported leaving his items unattended and after returning, noticed the suspect in the book stacks. The suspect approached him with a red and black backpack and asked if it was his, in which the student replied it wasn't, and the suspect informed him he would turn the backpack into the library's front desk, McGlothian-Taylor said. The MSU student later realized he was missing a $50 Intro to Econometrics textbook and $50 textbook on game theory, McGlothian-Taylor said. Ashley A. Smith
