The UW-Oshkosh Police Department responded to a student report of items stolen from their unlocked car in Lot 30, outside of Sage Hall April 21.

After a follow up, police officers on scene discovered several other vehicles were entered. 

Investigation led to the discovery that all vehicles entered were unlocked.

Students are encouraged by the UWOPD to ensure their cars are locked before leaving the parking lot due to increased activity on campus in the evening hours with the weather warming up. 

Steps students can take to prevent this from happening to them are always locking their vehicle, removing valuables or keeping them out of sight and reporting suspicious behavior promptly.

To report suspicious behavior seen, you can contact the UWOPD at (920) 231-1212. 

Further, if you have information that is beneficial to the investigation and wish to remain anonymous, contact the Winnebago Crime Stoppers at (920) 231-8477 or OPD at (920) 236-5700.
