ORLANDO, Fla. \u2014 UCF police are warning students after seven electric scooters were stolen from the main campus in the past two weeks.<\/p>\n

All of the scooters were left unsecured and were not parked at designated racks, police said.<\/p>\n

Five scooters were stolen near Towers and Knights Plaza. The other two were taken near the John C. Hitt Library and the Lynx bus stop by Garage A.<\/p>\n

UCF police are investigating the thefts and said officers patrol UCF campuses and affiliated properties around the clock.<\/p>\n

Police urged students to lock bikes and scooters to designated racks with high-quality locks, such as U-locks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThieves often look for easy opportunities, and unattended or unsecured bikes and scooters are more likely to be targeted,\u201d the department said.<\/p>\n

Students can also register bicycles and scooters for free through Parking and Transportation Services or UCFPD\u2019s online property-registration system. Registration can help police return recovered property to its owner.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information can call UCFPD at 407-823-5555. Call 911 in an emergency. Anonymous tips can be submitted through CRIMELINE at 800-423-TIPS or online at crimeline.org.<\/p>\n
