Five thefts on and near campus have been reported to the University of Minnesota Police Department since Thursday.

A phone was stolen at the University of Minnesota Recreation and Wellness Center on Friday. The victim, Craig Van Bruggen, a Ph.D. student in chemistry, said he put his phone down while listening to music through Bluetooth headphones.

Once he couldn’t hear his music, he realized his phone was out of range, he said.

Van Bruggen tracked the phone using his phone’s built-in GPS and followed the suspect to an apartment complex on the corner of Sixth Street Southeast and 11th Avenue Southeast. Van Bruggen was unable to enter the apartment complex, and police were unable to provide help without a room number.

“I have a newfound distrust of the student body,” said Van Bruggen after the incident.
