University Police are investigating a spate of thefts that occurred in Sanford Hall early Saturday morning.
Teenagers attending a University wrestling camp reported that cash and other items had disappeared from nine separate dorm rooms late Friday night or early Saturday morning.
The wrestlers reported their losses totaled more than $850.
“We believe the money was taken while wrestlers were at their morning workout,” said University Police Sgt. Eric Swanson.
Most of what was taken was cash, but the 13- to 16-year-olds attending the camp would be unlikely to have credit cards, Swanson said. Some CDs and two Sony Discmans were also taken.
The investigation will be complicated because the campers are kids from all over the country and some might have already left, Swanson said.
Several of the rooms had not been locked.
Earlier last week, University Police intervened in a fight between two juveniles attending the wrestling camp.
Paramedics treated the juveniles for injuries Tuesday; police released them to camp officials.
