Vehicle Theft A BYU employee was traveling on 800 N near Botany Pond when he saw a lawn care vehicle that he recognized as stolen from near Miller Park earlier that week—though it had not yet been reported to the police—being driven on the opposite side of the road by a group of teenage boys. The BYU employee contacted the juveniles, and the police were notified. BYU police responded to the scene and spoke with both the BYU employee and the juveniles. One of the juveniles claimed to have purchased the vehicle off Facebook Marketplace the day before, paying in cash. He asserted that he was unaware the vehicle was stolen and did not know the identity of the individual from whom he bought it. The juveniles' parents were contacted, and all of the juveniles were released into the custody of family members. BYU Grounds took custody of the recovered vehicle. This investigation is ongoing.

When the officer spoke with the complainant, a student employee, he indicated that there were two men and two women in the building, but they may have already left.
