Sticky-fingered crooks take phones,
projector, CD player and more
NLC Police encourage staff, students to report all campus crimes
Police Beat:
Some big ticket items have
gone missing on campus:
two people are now without
a cell phone; a classroom
no longer has a projector; the
bookstore is short an expensive text
book. More than one person's wallet
is a bit lighter. Someone's day
will lack music, and one person at
the South Irving Center now has a
damaged car.
All of these people have fallen
prey to sticky-fingered crooks at
North Lake College.
There is a chance that some of
these folks will be able to recover
their valuables, or at least have
the satisfaction of knowing that
the culprit is caught and rightfully
punished. Why? They reported the
crime.

to the following crimes, you should
report them to the NLC Police Department,
