Threats The BYU Police Department received a tip from an individual regarding a potential threat aimed at BYU. The concern was prompted by TikTok videos showing someone urinating on the Helaman Hall sign and the BYU cougar statue near LVES, accompanied by a caption stating, "None of the dorms are safe come tomorrow." Originally reported this morning, the videos have since gained additional views. The case has been forwarded to the investigative team for further follow-up.
Theft An officer responded to a report from a student regarding a missing bike. The student explained that her bike had been stolen a week earlier from the bike rack north of the West View Building. She had contacted BYU security, who attempted to locate the bike but were unsuccessful. The BYU Security Supervisor indicated that recently tagged bikes not removed are taken to a designated storage location for abandoned bikes on campus. The officer checked all storage areas but was unable to find the bike. The student stated her bike was not registered on campus and could not provide details such as make, model, or serial number. An attempt to review surveillance footage was hindered by the rooftop of the new bike area, which obstructed the camera’s view.
