Robbery Report
Two students were arguing when one of them “aggressively” took a phone from the other and threw it to the ground during the anti-abortion demonstration on campus Oct. 10. The victim did not want to file charges because the phone was retrieved right away. The suspect did not leave with the phone, but UPD said the incident is classified as a robbery because of the aggressive force that was used.

A CSULB student was sitting inside of their Kia Optima in Lot G2 when another ran into it the morning of Oct. 7. The suspect’s vehicle fled the scene, and the UPD was notified right away. The UPD was able to track down the suspect and had them exchange information with the owner of the Kia Optima.
