OCU Police officers are responding to a grand larceny. Books have been stolen from the OCU Campus Store for the third time this semester.

Investigative officials have narrowed down suspects to a former OCU housekeeping employee, said Lt. Fred Payne. Police reports revealing the suspect’s name have not yet been released.

The suspect took about $840 worth of books from the store during Thanksgiving break, Payne said.

“Money will be paid back to the university from housekeeping funds,” he said. “There will be no loss.”
