A 71-year-old woman reported Tuesday that her iPhone and wallet had been taken from the Evanston Public Library.

The EPL employee put her duffel bag at her workspace on the third floor of the library, Evanston Police Department Cmdr. Ryan Glew said. After her husband contacted her at work about unusual activity on Uber, the woman noticed her white iPhone 6 was missing, along with herred Coach wallet, which contained multiple credit cards and IDs, Glew added.

The EPL security officer reviewed security footage and saw two male teens enter the library and go up to the third floor. Glew said the footage showed one teen acting as a lookout while the other removed the phone and wallet from the woman’s duffel bag.

The suspects are not in custody, but the EPL security officer said he would like to pursue trespassing charges against the teens, Glew said.
