On Sunday night between 9 and 10 p.m. on the top floor of the University Center after the SEB-sponsored girl talk concert, an unidentified male stole two purses belonging to SEB members. The purses were in a box under a table in the lobby outside of the UC Ballroom, where the concert took place. The purses were later recovered, but some of the contents were missing, including $100 cash and an iphone. SEB President Sameeha Azeez was one of the victims. She stated: “it is very disappointing that after all of the work that we put into making this event happen, that one of the attendees would stoop so low as to steal our personal belongings. I’m taking this as a personal attack, I don’t understand how someone could do this.”
Because only UMBC students were able to purchase tickets to the girl talk concert, it is believed that the suspect is either a UMBC student, or is affiliated with a UMBC student.
The incident is currently under investigation. Any relevant information should be reported to UMBC police at (410)-455-5555.
Update: UMBC police has released pictures of the suspect.
