Bike thefts afflict campus
Dan DaranciangOver the week of Sept. 18 and 24, an unusually high number of bike thefts occurred across the University campus. Of the five bikes stolen over the past week, most were parked on the north side of campus. So far, officers have not been able to establish a pattern for the day or time the thefts occurred. Although the thefts appear to be random, University Chief of Police Don Strom noted that the “most common targets were unlocked bikes or bikes with lightweight cables.”
While this rash of bike thefts is still under investigation, officers have intercepted two juveniles who tampered with several bicycles on campus. The suspects were referred to juvenile authorities. For now, Strom recommends that bike riders obtain a Kryptonite bicycle lock and make sure to secure their bikes properly. Kryptonite bike locks can be obtained from the University’s police department by contacting the Crime Prevention Officer at (314) 935-5084.
