Audio equipment stolen from Crane Room
Last Thursday at 8:59 a.m., a member of Tufts Lighting Sound and Video reported that a piece of equipment used at a University event was stolen from the Crane Room sometime during the previous night.
Members of the Tufts University Police Department (TUPD) reported to the room and spoke with the student who informed them that an audio mixer had been taken from the room sometime between 11:30 p.m. the previous night and the following morning.
TUPD officers conducted a search around the immediate area but could not locate the mixer. The case is still under investigation.
Loud noise complaint in Latin Way
Loud music and screaming females prompted several students in the Latin Way apartment complex to report a noise violation to the TUPD last Friday at 4:33 a.m.
Upon arriving at the scene, members of the Tufts University Police Department (TUPD) knocked on the door several times but received no response. Finally, the resident opened the door and the officers said they noticed six or seven individuals sitting in the common area.
Police asked all the non-residents to leave the premises and the residents were properly identified. The authorities advised the residents that they broke the University's noise policy and that a report would be filed with the Dean of Students' office.
According to TUPD Sergeant Richard McConaghy, students must be aware of their building's quiet hours.
"At certain times of the night and morning, students should turn down their music and abide by the quiet hours," McConaghy said.
University property damaged in Stratton Hall
At approximately 1:30 a.m. on Saturday morning, the TUPD received a call reporting a disturbance in one of the male restrooms in Stratton Hall.
As the reporting officers approached the building, they noticed two students sitting outside. After viewing certain damages and talking with residents of the hall, the authorities concluded that the students sitting outside upon the officers' arrival were involved.
TUPD officers spoke with both individuals and brought them to the TUPD office for further questioning. According to the report, at least one of the individuals admitted to creating a disturbance and causing destruction to the restroom.
The student reportedly inflicted damage to bathroom stall doors and soap dispensers in the restroom. Pictures were taken of the destroyed property and a report was filed with the Dean of Students' office.
Sergeant McConagy said he would like to warn students that destroying University property comes at the expense of the students involved.
"Those who destroy University property must be prepared to pay restitution and suffer the full consequences of their actions," McConaghy said.
