They planned to meet that evening to return the device and would call if any issues arose.
Criminal Mischief
A police officer responded to the Museum of Peoples and Cultures regarding an incident of criminal mischief in one of the restrooms. The vandalism involved tagging and leaving paper products scattered throughout, creating a significant mess for custodial staff to clean. The incident appeared to have taken place during a field trip when large groups were visiting the museum.
Fire – Gas Smell
An officer responded to Wymount Apartments on a gas smell. The tenants reported that they turned their furnace on and could smell gas. Provo Fire responded and did not find any issues. Housing staff on scene as well. Call cleared.
Property Damage
A BYU officer responded to reports of property damage to a rock wall east of the Hinckley Center, near a U-turn lane.
