A person not affiliated with Syracuse University was recently arrested after being seen taking phones and other items from unlocked Day Hall dorm rooms.

Witnesses saw London Chandler, 20, taking the items on April 19 and he was subsequently placed under arrest and lodged at the Onondaga County Justice Center, said Hannah Warren, public information and internal communications officer for the Department of Public Safety. Chandler was charged with two counts of burglary in the second degree, criminal possession of stolen property in the fourth degree, grand larceny in the fourth degree and attempted burglary in the second degree.

Chandler, from LaFayette, was signed into Day Hall by an SU student, Warren said. She added that Chandler admitted that he took phones and other items from unsecured residence hall rooms.

The investigation is ongoing and further information on the incident will be provided in the future, said John Sardino, associate chief of law enforcement and community policing for DPS.
