University Police are investigating a laptop theft that occurred by the food court of the HUB sometime between 2:15 p.m. and 2:25 p.m. on Monday, February 27.

Penn State officers are trying to identify a man, pictured below from security footage, seen taking the laptop while it was left unattended for a short span of time by the owner. While it’s not uncommon for those in the HUB to leave personal belongings temporarily, police urge those in the community not to do so for any period of time in light of this incident.
