Law & Order: GWU

The big crime story this week is a burglary at Pita Pit. UPD was contacted by the complainant, who indicated that money had been stolen from Pita Pit. MPD was contacted to search the scene. From surveillance video taken of the Ivory Tower food concourse, it seems that two subjects lifted the gate at Pita Pit and crawled under it. They then took cash from a drawer under the cash register area. This crime is still being investigated.

A female GW student was the victim of an attempted robbery off campus. The student was walking at the intersection of 19th and I Streets when a man approached her and grabbed her purse, demanding the student to relinquish it. She yelled loudly in response and was overheard by a group of individuals nearby. The attacker saw the individuals and took off running, empty-handed.

A GW staff member was assaulted at the Froggy Bottom Pub. The complainant says that he asked someone he knew, an individual unaffiliated with GW, to move his food off the pool table on which the complainant wanted to play. The subject then assaulted the complainant. The subject has been charged with simple assault.

And finally, your illegal substance consumption updates for the week:

In Potomac House, a UPD officer smelled a suspicious odor while on patrol. The officer contacted the community director on duty, and they entered the room to find two male GW students. The community director then performed an administrative search, which yielded 3.7 grams of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. The case has been closed and referred to SJS.
