Laptop vanishes in Tisch
A female Tufts student reported a stolen laptop to the Tufts University Police Department (TUPD) on Sept. 11. The laptop was stolen on Sept. 9 when the individual left a classroom in the Tisch Library. She returned 20 minutes later to find her computer missing.
The individual asked the other people in the room, but they said they had not seen anything. She waited a few days to contact the police in case someone she knew had taken the computer and was holding onto it for her, according to TUPD Sgt. Robert McCarthy.
The laptop was worth around $1,000.
Motorcycle damaged
TUPD officers responded to a call at 10:40 p.m. on Sept. 13 about four or five white males who had knocked over someone's motorcycle and damaged the side mirror. A while later, the officers identified two people from the aforementioned group, all of whom were Tufts students.
One of the individuals admitted that he had been with the group but said he was only trying to pick up the motorcycle. He supplied the name of the person who allegedly knocked it over.
As the incident occurred off campus in the Somerville Police Department's jurisdiction, all the information, including the individual's name, was turned over to that department, McCarthy said.
