THEFT - WILSON LIBRARY

POSTED: MARCH 2, 2009

On the afternoon of 2/24/2009, a victim was sleeping in a chair in the lobby of Wilson Library with his backpack next to him on the floor.

An unknown white female in a long coat sat next to the victim for a short time to determine if he was asleep. She then stood and acted as a lookout in the lobby as a black male sat next to the student and took his backpack. The pair then walked out the front door of the library together.

The images below were captured on security cameras. The male is wearing a black and green "San Jose Sharks" jacket, jeans, and a hat.
