Drugs
A student discovered an empty marijuana container in a classroom and reported it to the professor. The teaching assistant then took the container to the police department for further investigation. The container, a black glass vial labeled "Raw Garden," was identified as containing a cannabis joint and emitted a marijuana odor, though it was empty. It was then photographed for records and properly disposed of.

Theft
A delayed report was filed regarding several tools and property missing from a work area at the MTC last week. An officer contacted the complainant by phone, who described the missing items and provided an approximate timeframe of the incident. The officer documented the report and is currently awaiting further details from an MTC employee. The case remains under investigation.

Accident
A call was received by the BYU Police Department reporting a vehicle accident in parking lot 45. The complainant stated she parked her vehicle for several hours and discovered damage upon returning. Upon investigation, officers determined that the damage was non-reportable and the cause remains unknown. Camera footage is being reviewed for potential evidence.

Welfare Check
A BYU Police officer was dispatched to perform a welfare check on a female individual, who was reportedly possibly homeless and in need of assistance. Upon arrival, officers located the female inside a building, where she was seeking legal help. She was in the process of speaking with a professor and preparing to leave when the officers made contact. After gathering her personal belongings, she exited the building without incident.

Theft
A report was made regarding a stolen bag from the WSC. The caller stated that they left their bag on some couches outside the Den in the basement of the WSC. When they returned shortly afterward, the bag and its belongings were missing. The lost and found has been checked, and surveillance footage is currently under review. The case is actively under investigation.

CO Alarm
A carbon monoxide alarm was triggered in an apartment, prompting the residents to evacuate. Fortunately, no one reported feeling ill. Provo Fire responded to the scene and determined that the residents had been cooking and accidentally left the stove on, which caused gas to be emitted into the apartment. Gas readings peaked at 30. The fire department ventilated the apartment to clear any remaining gas and later allowed the residents to re-enter the residence.
