Syracuse (WSYR-TV) -- A pair of suspected thieves apparently did their homework before scoring big on the Syracuse University campus.
A college campus is a place of learning, but some thieves see it as a land of opportunity.
“Whether they’re looking for an open door, or a car, there are electronics around that are very easy to pawn or dispose of on the street for drugs or cash, so the university does become a target environment.” Syracuse Police Sergeant John Savage said.
The target date was September 5 and Syracuse police believe 24-year-old Anthony McAlpine and 25-year-old Marvin Regis had it all planned out. The two men are suspected of walking into Slocum Hall and walking out with thousands of dollars worth of electronics.
“They victimized a great number of people in this. Some of the items were recovered and a large number were not,” Sgt. Savage said.
Now comes the task of finding McAlpine and Regis. A third man who was with them has already been caught.
“We do believe they’re in Syracuse, but we are exploring out of town addresses as well,” Sgt. Savage said.
If you know where police can find McAlpine and Regis, call their confidential tip line at 442-5230.
