At 6:30 p.m., a burglary complaint was called in from the New Balance Recreation Center parking lot. A student reported their wallet had been stolen, so UMPD advised them to cancel any cards that were in the wallet. There are currently no suspects due to a lack of surveillance footage.

At 3 p.m., an information complaint was filed after a student submitted a message to the University of Maine admissions chatbot saying they were overwhelmed with school. Due to a lack of identifying information, officers were unable to determine who sent the message or where it came from and the matter was marked as resolved.
3/23:
At 6:30 p.m., a male student reported criminal mischief from Hilltop’s parking lot after discovering one of his tires had been damaged sometime between leaving for spring break and filing the report. UMPD said the vehicle was within range of a surveillance camera but found no evidence of intentional damage after reviewing the footage.
3/25:
Around noon, a theft complaint was filed from the Alpha Delta chapter room in Somerset Hall after the group reported that a bag containing $200 to $400 in chapter dues had been stolen. Since the chapter room is in the basement of a residence hall, RAs are able to let people in using their access cards. However, RAs told UMPD they hadn’t let anyone outside the group into the room recently. There are currently no suspects.
3/27:
At 9 p.m., UMPD received a complaint referencing a “Yik Yak” post about a potential party at Beta Theta Pi. UMPD forwarded the report to Greek Life, as they routinely share information about fraternity or sorority activity but do not keep records of organizations’ party restrictions. Since the complaint was sent to Greek Life, UMPD marked the matter resolved.
