“There were no signs of forced entry into the area observed,” UR Security Investigator Dan Lafferty said.

The stolen computer was valued at around $1,955, security says.

An unidentified suspect allegedly stole a 1997 Dodge Neon from the River Lot between Nov 20 and Nov. 25. The vehicle belonged to an undergraduate student.
