FLASHER SIGHTED, BRIEFLY
There were sightings of a “flasher” near Saskatchewan Drive and 110 Street during the evening of 19 October and 23 October. There’s still no description of the male suspect at this time.

PACKS JACKED

On 23 October, a backpack was reported stolen from Rutherford Library North. It’s described as a white shoulder bag containing a wallet, comics, and a pink scarf. Another bag was reported stolen on 26 October from the lower level of SUB. There are no suspects.

la-z-thieves lose interest

On the morning of 26 October, a homemade motorized couch valued at over $1000 was stolen from the west exterior of a house on 87 Avenue and 110 Street. The motorized two-person love seat, powered by a lawnmower-style engine, was located two days later. There was substantial damage and some parts were stolen, but it should be fixable.

RESIDENCE EVIL

On 27 October at about 3am, a suspicious male was reported at Lister Hall. Officers attended the area and located the 30-year-old. The individual had no University affiliation and an extensive criminal record, including violence- and property-related offences. He was escorted him downtown to the AADAC-funded George Spady Centre.

Where there’s garbage, there’s fire

On 27 October at 5:30pm, an act of arson occurred in the ETLC main floor men’s washroom. Paper towels from the dispenser were lit on fire and placed in the garbage. The garbage can caught fire, and the sprinkler above was set off. Edmonton Fire Department and Police Service investigators determined it was arson, but at this time, there are no suspects. There was minor smoke damage to the walls in the washroom and approximately 2–8 inches of water throughout the washroom and in three surrounding smart classrooms. The smoke and water damage total is estimated at over $5000.

THAT’S JUST TOO EASY

On 29 October, Campus Security Officials were spotted delivering doughnuts across campus as part of this year’s United Way fundraising drive.
