On Wednesday Jan. 18, at 5:10 p.m., Campus Police was dispatched to Lot 2 on a report of a stolen motor vehicle.
Upon arrival, officers met with an assistant professor in the School of Nursing who said that she had parked her blue 2004 Toyota Camry XLE in Lot 2 at 10:05 a.m. She told officers she locked the car and placed the keys in her coat pocket.
When the professor returned to retrieve her car that evening, she could not find it. A subsequent search of other campus parking lots yielded no results.

At 7:20 p.m., Campus Police Headquarters received an NCIC hit confirmation request from the Bristol Township Police in Bucks County, Pa. The request said that the professor's vehicle was recovered and towed to a local auto service station.
An officer from the Bristol Township Police Department informed Campus Police that the vehicle was found in the Bloomsdale section of Bristol, and two suspects were taken into custody.
At 7:45 p.m., the professor received the information to retrieve her vehicle.
