MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WKRN) — Two people have been taken into custody in connection with multiple scooter thefts across the Middle Tennessee State University campus, authorities announced Friday.
According to the MTSU Police Department’s Facebook post from Friday, March 6, following a school-wide email reminder about securing scooters due to a spike in thefts, an alert student noticed an abandoned scooter and notified campus law enforcement.
When a master patrol officer went to check on the scooter, he reportedly noticed two people across the street who “matched the description of suspects in a BOLO (Be On the Lookout) issued just hours earlier.”
