Several laptop computers were stolen from students in the James A. Gibson Library on Monday, March 18.

All members of the Brock community are being reminded by Campus Security not to leave valuable items, such as laptops, tablets or cellphones, unattended at any time while on campus.

A suspect in Monday’s incidents was described as male, 25 to 30 years old, with brown skin, a moustache, shoulder-length black curly hair, a loosely tied ponytail and wearing a 3/4-length grey coat.

As a result of the recent thefts, Campus Security has increased patrols in the library and will be leaving cautionary bookmarks on valuable items to warn of the risk of leaving them unattended.

Anyone who is missing their laptop or other items should check with the library circulation desk to see whether the item has been returned. Those wishing to report a stolen item or with information about thefts on campus are asked to contact Campus Security at x3200.
