Officers located the individual and identified him. He was found to have no University affiliation. The suspect was warned and advised not to return to the property. The suspect was then escorted from the facility.
According to UR Security Investigator Dan Lafferty, investigators are working to establish whether there is a connection between the suspect and recently reported thefts at Eastman.
