UVM Police has received multiple reports of burglary on the UVM Campus that occurred over the weekend of 6/26- 6/27/2021. Offices in Coolidge Hall and the Patrick Gymnasium were burglarized during this period. Taken from the athletic complex were several digital movie cameras used for broadcasting UVM athletic events, and other miscellaneous camera equipment.
Additionally, during the same time period two small university-owned electric vehicles were stolen from a lot on Redstone Campus. The vehicles were recovered in Burlington after being found abandoned. This is the second similar theft of this vehicle type on the UVM Campus in the last month. Police are asking UVM departments that own or operate small GEM-style vehicles to consider taking additional steps to keep them secure at this time. Contact UVM Police at 802-656-3473 for guidance or assistance in taking additional steps to secure GEM vehicles. It is not known at this time if the burglaries and vehicle thefts are connected.
