Police investigating campus fraud

Posted on by

University police are investigating an incident of fraud at PNC Bank on Liacouras Walk, said Deputy Director of Campus Safety services Charlie Leone.

On April 22, a Temple student attempted to help an unknown male cash a check for $100. The student gave the male $100 cash, and then attempted to deposit the check in to his account. The student was informed this week by PNC that the check was fraudulent and notified authorities.

The incident is not the first of its kind- Leone said that a similar incident occurred with another student within the last few weeks. “It sounds like the same guy,” he said. “I’m pretty confident that we will have an arrest on this.”

Leone said that police are working with PNC to indentify the suspect, and said they are looking for a white or Latino male, 6 feet tall, medium build and scruffy facial hair. He cautioned any student that is approached by someone asking for help cashing a check to contact police immediately.

Two sexual assaults were reported on Main Campus in the past two weeks.

The first case consisted of a sexual assault that was reported Feb. 4, stemming from an incident that occurred in Temple Towers the prior weekend, said Deputy Director of Campus Safety Services Charlie Leone.

The case involves two Temple students: an 18-year-old female victim and an 18-year-old male. No charges have been filed yet and the case has been referred to the Philadelphia Police Special Victims Unit, Leone said.

The second case involves a sexual assault that stemmed from an off-campus incident over the weekend. Temple police have not apprehended a suspect in the case, and are working with the Philadelphia Police Special Victims Unit to pursue further leads. The victim, a male Temple student, allegedly met the offender, another male whose affiliation is unknown, at a party and went back to the student’s residence.

A description has been released of the suspect: a black male, believed to be of college age, husky build, dark complexion, approximately 5 feet, 10 inches and 180 pounds wearing a red cap.

Swarthmore students attacked on Temple study-abroad trip

Posted on by

Three Pennsylvania college students were injured while studying abroad in Rome on Nov. 21, according to media reports. The students, who attend Swarthmore College, were in Temple’s study abroad program in Rome when the incident occurred.

Nicholas Burnett, Nick Constantino and Zachary Schaffer were at The Drunken Ship, a bar in Rome’s Campo de’Fiori, when Italian soccer fans allegedly attacked fans of the visiting team, England’s Tottenham, the reports state.

Swarthmore College said Burnett, who was hospitalized with a back wound, remains hospitalized, but is in good condition. Constantino and Schaffer both sustained minor injuries, but did not require hospitalization.

“This terrible episode has been very difficult for those directly affected by it, as well as their close family and friends. We are deeply relieved and grateful that our students are all recovering well and we look forward to welcoming them back to campus next semester,” said Swarthmore Dean Liz Braun.
