Police Briefs Feb. 17

Missing Money

A student reported having $20 taken from their room in Carmichael Hall on Feb. 13. The student claimed to have locked their door, but after this was investigated by Tufts University Police Department (TUPD), there appeared to be an issue with the door and a Facilities Services work order was filed. Nothing else was reported missing from Carmichael at the time. No suspects have been identified and TUPD is still investigating the case.

False Report

Someone called TUPD with a false report on Feb. 14 at the Zeta Psi fraternity house, 80 Professors Row. TUPD looked into the situation and learned that the caller was just upset about not being allowed into the party or being asked to leave. The caller confirmed that the report was false right away.

Chemical Spill

A minor chemical spill occurred at the Science and Technology Center on Feb. 16. People in the laboratory contained and cleaned up the spill.

Bike Thefts

As a follow-up to reported bike thefts at 574 Boston Ave., TUPD identified two Somerville residents as suspects and brought them to court on Feb. 16. This is an ongoing TUPD prosecution.
