On April 4th, 2014, in the afternoon, the University of Maryland Police Department was notified by our Security Operations Center of a possible theft from a motor vehicle in parking lot 1D. A motor vehicle had its window smashed out but unknown at that time if any property was taken. Officers were provided with a description of two possible suspects in the area. A responding officer arrived and noticed two individuals matching the description; both ran towards the UMUC parking garage. The officer then ran after the individuals and was able to locate one of the two individuals inside the garage. The garage was closed off while officers searched for the second individual. After an extension searched, the garage was re-opened and the individual in custody was interviewed by investigators. The second individual was not found.
It was determined that there was not enough support evidence to link the individual in custody to the incident that occurred at lot 1D. The individual was issued a full denial of access to campus and released. No property was taken from the motor vehicle.
