A man allegedly stole a laptop computer from an apartment while people were inside Thursday night, according to a university police report released Friday.
The man entered the apartment in the 500 block of Landfair Avenue through an unlocked front door at about 10 p.m. Thursday and stole the resident’s computer, according to the report.
He was described in the report as heavyset, about 30 years old and 5 feet 8 inches tall. He was wearing a sweatshirt and grey baseball cap at the time.
Police recommend that students keep their doors and windows locked and do not invite or allow any strangers into their rooms.
Anyone with information about the burglary can call UCPD at 310-825-9371.
