CMU police investigating several larcenies in music building
The Central Michigan University Police Department is investigating a series of larcenies that have taken place at the Music Building over the past several months.
Detective Mike Sienkiewicz said CMUPD has received several complaints of items missing from the building, with the most recent larceny occurring on March 16.
“There have been multiple thefts dating back to the end of 2012,” Sienkiewicz said. “It is still an ongoing investigation, so we are not releasing what was taken yet.”
During the course of the investigation, surveillance video of the suspect was obtained, and CMUPD is seeking assistance to identify the suspect, Sienkiewicz said.
The suspect is described as a white male who appears to be in his 40s or 50s, police say. The suspect’s height is approximately 6’ to 6’2’’ tall, with brown, curly hair.
CMUPD installed a temporary camera at the start of the investigation, which has gathered a few still photos and video clips of the suspect, Sienkiewicz said.
“We think the pictures are fairly decent quality,” Sienkiewicz said. “We were contacted by the music department after some of the students noticed a few items missing.”
There have been other thefts in the music building dating back to last fall, but Sienkiewicz said he does not believe they are related to the most recent instances.
“Sometimes, people leave their stuff around, and it gets taken,” Sienkiewicz said. “We would just like to figure out who this guy is.”
If anyone has additional information about the identity of the suspect, they are encouraged to contact CMU police dispatch at (989) 774-3081.
