Alert Information(posted Thursday, Aug.13, 2009 10:30 a.m. pv) Catalytic converter thefts UTMB police report a series of incidents where thieves are stealing catalytic converters from cars on and around campus. Catalytic converters contain precious metals such as platinum, gold or rhodium. SUV’s are especially susceptible because they sit high off the ground and thieves can more easily crawl under them and cut the converter off a vehicle. Please report any suspicious activity to campus police at 21111. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ CAMPUS CRIME UPDATE: Feb. 24, 2009: Campus Crime Alert Update: Suspects Arrested The UTMB Police Department recently arrested three women for the robbery that took place Friday, Feb. 6, at 12th & Mechanic streets.

Feb. 9, 2009: Campus Crime Advisory: Robbery near 12th and Mechanic On Friday, Feb. 6, 2009, at approximately 7:20 p.m., a UTMB researcher was robbed at 12th St. and Mechanic while walking toward Parking Garage # 93 (near the School of Nursing and School of Health Professions). As he walked, the researcher noticed a white Ford pickup truck pull up along the curb. The vehicle was occupied by two women he described as Hispanic. He reported one of the females exited from the passenger side and stated "I need money for my kids." She then snatched his gray-colored sports bag. The female raised her right arm and pointed her hand toward the researcher, but no weapon is known to have been displayed in the robbery.
