1. Two separate incidents of cash theft were reported on Saturday, April 17. In both incidents, students reported that other items had also been stolen.

According to UR Senior Security Investigator Daniel Lafferty, the first theft occurred between 1 and 1:30p.m. in Kilbourn Hall. An undergraduate student, who was monitoring the backstage area at the time, briefly left her purse unattended. When she returned, her wallet which contained cash, ID and credit cards had allegedly been stolen. The purse itself was not stolen.

In the second incident, a brother of the Psi Upsilon Fraternity reported that an iPod and $40 cash were stolen from his room while he was away.

Besides his roommate, the individual claimed that only two people were in his room during the time frame of the theft. The victim reportedly confronted both of these students about the incident, but neither of them admitted to taking the belongings.
A police report may be filed at a later time for both incidents.
