Campus Safety Bulletin: Report of catalytic converter theft
You are receiving this bulletin because you are part of the Edmonds College community. Being more aware helps keep our campus community safer.
On the evening of October 28, Campus Security received a report of a theft of a catalytic converter from a vehicle parked in Lot E. Lynnwood Police Department is investigating the reported theft.
In the videos from campus security cameras, what appears to be a red, late 1990s Mercury Mountaineer SUV entered Edmonds College at approximately 3:07 p.m. through 200th St. The vehicle then proceeded to parking lot E by Snoqualmie and Brier halls, and parked next to a light blue Toyota Prius. The red Mercury Mountaineer was there until 3:23 p.m. when it was seen leaving through 200th St.
The red SUV has what appears to be wide white space behind the license plate.
The red SUV has no front plate, and appears to have a small light bar on the hood of the car towards the back of the hood.
Two individuals were seen exiting the vehicle.
One male, light skinned with dark hair and wearing a brown/khaki "carhartt" style jacket and dark pants.
One female, light skinned, with blonde hair wearing a dark jacket/sweater and light pants or leggings.
At approximately 3:20 p.m. the blue Prius was seen lifted, possibly by a car jack. It appears the male suspect kneels on the passenger side of the Prius, getting under the victim's vehicle. It appears the perpetrators placed items into their vehicle and drove away.
The victim returned to his vehicle at 5:00 p.m. and discovered that the theft had occurred.
Anyone with further information is encouraged to contact the Lynnwood Police Department at 425.407.3999. Lynnwood Police Department Case Number to reference is #2021-32705.
Whenever a situation is of concern to our campus community, we will notify you. EC urges anyone who is a victim of any crime to call 911 immediately AND make a report to Campus Security.
From the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Department - Thefts of catalytic converters are on the rise. Trucks and SUVs with decent ground clearance are the usual targets, but Toyota Priuses are also becoming frequent picks. The Prius is prized because the catalytic converters on hybrid cars typically are in better condition because the car only uses it while in gas mode. Their less-used condition makes converters off hybrids more valuable to bring to scrap metal buyers.

We ask our students and employees to be aware and take the following actions to increase their safety both on and off campus:
- Be aware of your surroundings.
- Report any suspicious people or behavior to campus security.
- When going through a public parking lot, call 911 if you see suspicious activity such as people working underneath a vehicle or someone who looks like they are acting like a lookout. Using a saw is not normal car maintenance behavior. Always park in a well-lit area.

Edmonds College is participating in The Great ShakeOut global earthquake drill. We encourage you to practice. “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” during the earthquake announcement.
The Edmonds College drill is happening at 10:21 a.m. You will see a message scrolling on all classroom and workspace digital clock speakers, and hear a campus-wide announcement over the speaker system across campus.
During the drill please practice safety during an earthquake. We want you to Drop, Cover, and Hold On
As the message plays you should:
- Drop to the ground (before the earthquake drops you!),
- Take cover by getting under a sturdy desk or table, and
- Hold on to it until the sound of shaking stops.
If there isn't a table or desk near you, drop to the ground in an inside corner of the building and cover your head and neck with your hands and arms. Do not try to run to another room just to get under a table.
In the event of a real emergency, the college will send out emergency notifications through the Triton Alert system. You can sign up for these alerts — email and text — at edmonds.edu/alert/triton.

What if It Snows?
In inclement weather, Edmonds College typically makes decisions regarding emergency closures or class cancellations by 5 a.m. for day classes and 3 p.m. for evening classes (or as early as circumstances allow). Then we start getting the word out.
The college seeks to stay open to fulfill its mission whenever possible — so, most likely, it will be classes as usual for the college — but individuals should protect their own health and safety. Take care of yourself and be safe!
Students, work with your instructors if you need to make other arrangements in an emergency.
Important notice to students, employees, and the community:
Due to ongoing fire and safety concerns of the National Fire Protection Association, Edmonds College prohibits the use, possession, or storage of "hoverboard" style transport devices on campus property. This includes but is not limited to student housing, classrooms, meeting space, walkways, hallways, and open courtyards.
