Theft
Two MSU students had belongings stolen from lockers in two separate cases.
The first incident happened in East Holmes Hall, where a 20-year-old female student, who lives off campus but works in the dining hall, placed her belongings in a locker, unlocked, and went to work Jan. 13. On Jan 14, while shopping, the student noticed $100 to $150 missing from her purse and reported it to police. There are no suspects, and the case is still under investigation.
A second student, also a 20-year-old female employee, placed her belongings in a locker in Landon Hall on Jan. 17. Upon returning she noticed that her black purse was missing and reported it to police. Among the missing items were a Samsung Galaxy S4, valued at $340, keys and ID. There are no suspects, and the case is still under investigation.
License Plate Theft
A 38-year-old non-MSU affiliated construction worker at the IBM parking lot was the victim of a license plate theft between late Jan. 18 to early Jan. 19. After leaving work, the construction worker went to a gas station and noticed his missing plate, which was last seen when he left his home in Saginaw, Michigan. The vehicle is a blue 2006 Crysler Town and Country, and the case is still under investigation.
