“We’re looking for help from our campus community to find the suspect,” Brockie said.
The suspect was reported to be a White male in his 20s. He was described as having facial hair, medium length light brown hair and a royal blue windbreaker jacket with a backpack.
The stolen car was reported to be a silver 2009 Lexus RX350.
