Laptop thefts reported on Reynolda Campus

by Betsy Chapman

The Wake Forest University Police Department (UPD) has received reports of two laptop thefts on the Reynolda Campus on April 6. The thefts occurred in Worrell Professional Center and Carswell Hall. Both laptops were left unattended – one for an hour and the other for only five minutes.

In February, a community safety advisory was shared regarding reports of at least three laptop thefts from Reynolda Campus.

It is essential to safeguard belongings and report any suspicious activity. Students, faculty and staff should secure laptops and never leave them or other valuables unattended in unlocked or common areas.

As a reminder, Wake Forest is an open campus. Many of our facilities are accessible to the public.
