The officer provided the student with his contact information in case she needed any further assistance.

Lost Property – BYU Keys
The complainant, a supervisor at the Ellsworth Building, reported that one of his employees lost some keys belonging to BYU. The key shop requires him to report the incident to the police before new keys can be issued. The incident is currently under further review.

Fire Alarm
A police officer responded to Wymount 15D for a fire alarm. The tenants reported that the alarm was due to smoke from burnt cooking oil. The officer silenced the alarm, and the incident was reported to BYU Housing and the fire alarm technician.

Fire – Gas Smell
BYU Police, EMS, and Provo Fire responded to Wymount 9C after the tenants of an apartment reported smelling gas. Upon arrival, Provo Fire measured the gases in the apartment. Their carbon monoxide meter (CO) indicated no toxic or flammable gases were present. BYU Housing and Risk Management were both notified.

Information
Several BYU students pulled a prank in which two students wearing ski masks attempted to abduct two other students in front of the complainant and pull them into a vehicle. Although it turned out to be a prank, the situation upset the caller. This incident will be reviewed further by officers.
