Roughly 85 incidents were formally reported to the University of Toronto Police in August. Most responses (40) dealt with thefts or attempted thefts, usually involving unattended wallets or bags, secured bicycles stolen from a rack, or the robbery of computers and computer parts.
Thirteen bikes were stolen last month, six of those on Aug. 14 alone. Sites where more than one bike went missing include the Koffler Student Services Centre, Wetmore Hall, and the Department of Forestry.
About ten unwanted or suspicious individuals were sighted on, or removed from U of T property. Incidents involved vandalism, two minor assaults, and a drunken man who was taken to 52 division after refusing to get into a cab campus police had called up for him.
Police calls also bordered on the bizarre. At 155 College Street, a suspicious person was found screaming at the building. On August 6th, a 30 foot section of fence was reported damaged by the police during the rescue of a “trapped male” at the Fields Institute.
Finally, a medical call was answered on the Aug. 17, when a studying student passed out after not having eaten for 48 hours.
