Man steals iPhone from SPAC
A man stole an iPhone from SPAC on Tuesday, police said.
Police arrived at the Sports Pavilion and Aquatics Center at around 6:19 p.m. Tuesday in reference to a theft report, University Police Deputy Chief Dan McAleer said. Upon arrival, they spoke with a student who worked at SPAC and witnessed the theft. He said he saw a man loitering in the basketball courts for 15 minutes, pretending to be interested in the games but not joining. The man picked up bags that were not his and placed them back. He then reached into an orange bag and removed the phone, placing it in his back pants pocket, McAleer said.
The staff member confronted the man, who took off running to the main lobby and continued to the North Quads. He followed and asked the front door staff to contact UP. The front desk employee said the man has been seen in SPAC on several occasions.
Police spoke to the student whose iPhone was stolen. He told police he placed his iPhone in an orange bag on the basketball court at 6 p.m. Tuesday, McAleer said. He saw an individual chasing a man for no apparent reason and noticed his bag had been disturbed and his iPhone removed.
UP is searching for a 6-foot-3 black male, in his mid-20’s, and wearing a white shirt and silver-green gym shoes.
