1. On Friday, April 4, at 8:50pm, Public Safety Officers responded to the Chase Bank branch in Todd Union for a report of a sulfur-like odor in the air. The Rochester Fire Department, Facilities mechanics, and Fire Marshall all responded and found slightly elevated carbon monoxide levels initially attributed to a Freon gas leak in a cooling system. Further investigation found  that a control panel battery was leaking some acid which caused the odor. The issue was promptly rectified.

Man banned for using computers

2. On Thursday, April 3, Public Safety Officers observed an adult male using the Eastman School of Music basement computers. When approached, the man fled the area and was later located on Gibbs St. He stated that he gained access by knocking on the window and someone opened the door for him. The man was banned from UR. Students should be aware of and report suspicious persons, and should never allow unknown persons into student access areas.

Man found in balcony

3. Thanks to the report of an observant student, on Sunday, April 6, at about 10:30am, Public Safety Officers approached a man in the balcony area of Eastman Theater. The man was found suspiciously loitering around the area. Officers approached the man and determined that the male had no legitimate business being in the perimeter and was subsequently banned from UR property.

Clarinet found, iPod missing
4. There were two incidents of unattended property reported as stolen. The first was on Wednesday, April 2, between 5:00pm and 6:00pm when a student who had left her backpack under a bench in the Goergen Women’s Locker Room discovered her iPhone was stolen. The phone’s GPS was not active and it has not been recovered. Another incident occurred when a student finished practice and left her clarinet in a seventh floor room at the Eastman School Annex. She discovered it missing upon returning to the room one week later on Thursday, April 3. Thankfully, the clarinet was submitted to the Eastman Commons Lost and Found and returned to its owner.
