Winter break saw little snow…and little crime – The Cauldron

There were 23 crime reports throughout the four weeks of winter break, a significant decline following a fall semester that averaged just over 16 crime reports per week, according to the Cleveland State University Sixty Day Crime Log from Dec. 16 through Jan. 13. 

The reports included two individuals arrested on misdemeanor warrants in parking lots on campus.

Eight counts of theft and petty theft were also reported across the Student Center, Recreation Center, parking lots and dorms. At both The Edge and The Langston, one count of assault was reported.

Other reports include criminal damaging or endangering, misuse of credit cards, driving under the influence of alcohol, burglary, and criminal mischief.  

Similar to the fall semester, seven supervisory smoke alarms and four fire alarms comprised the majority of reports. 

Using the Sixty Day Crime Log that is available in person and online at the Cleveland State University Police Department website, the list of crime reports from winter break have been compiled into one list, excluding the campus safety escorts.
