Suspicious activity reported by One Source worker
On the morning of Thursday, April 7, at 2:01 a.m., a One Source worker called the Tufts University Police Department (TUPD) after suspecting that someone gained access to Cabot Hall through an open window.
According to the worker, the window had been opened the previous night, and when he went downstairs to assess the situation he observed two males outside of the building. As he approached the men, they fled the scene. Officials, however, did not immediately receive any reports of stolen or vandalized property in the Hall.
Upon arriving at the scene, TUPD officers checked out all the windows to make sure they were properly closed. The guards responsible for locking up the building were given information regarding the incident. The case is still under investigation.
