University Police Lt. Richard Goodwin confirmed that an investigation is ongoing regarding the theft of two computers and damages to a glass door at the Union Weekly office at the University Student Union.
Police responded to a break-in at the Union Weekly office at 8:43 a.m. on Monday, said Goodwin. He estimated the value of the computers and damage to the door was roughly $3,770.
Assistant Director of Programs at Cal State Long Beach Sylvana Cicero said that the glass door is currently being replaced by a red plywood board until a replacement is complete.
“This is an unfortunate situation,” Cicero said via email. “However, the Long Beach Union [Weekly] students have continued to move forward and work on their next issue in the office.”
In the aftermath of this break-in, Cicero said that the USU is looking for any other security vulnerabilities.
“The USU facility team is monitoring the area and security cameras may be added to ensure safety and theft protection,” Cicero said via email.
