Re:  Suspicious Activity

Crime(s):  Suspicious Activity

Date(s):  January - April, 2012

Location:  McHenry Library

Suspect #1:
White or Latino male in his 20's, 6' tall with short black hair. He was wearing black baggy pants, a black buttoned down shirt and white tank top T-shirt underneath.

Suspect #2:
Asian male in his 20's, 5'10" tall with short black hair (slightly longer than #1). He was wearing jeans, a white buttoned up flannel shirt and was carrying a brown backpack and brown cowboy style hat.

Incident(s):
McHenry staff has reported two male subjects "roaming the library" and approaching female patrons sitting or studying alone. One of the males acts as a "look out" while the other engages the patron and asks for personal information. The males have been seen in the library on several occasions and specifically on January 17, 2012 at 8pm, and on April 19, 2012 at 7pm. It is unknown the exact intent or motives of the subjects, but their demeanor and behavior has resulted in patrons feeling uncomfortable and reporting the incidents to library staff and the UC Santa Cruz Police Department.
