On September 17, a 29-year-old man came onto the Sacramento State campus and left with a bicycle that was not his.

Shortly after allegedly stealing the bike, Kevin-Michael Perry was arrested by campus police after his red Toyota pickup was spotted near 51st Street and Folsom Blvd., with a bicycle inside that resembled the one that was reported stolen earlier.

This was the first bike reported stolen this month, after three were reported stolen in June and four were reported stolen in each of the August and July months.

“Perry is unemployed and not a student,” said University Police Investigator John Hamrick. Perry told university police he came on the Sac State campus to meet women, Hamrick said.

No one has come forward to confirm Perry’s claim.

Perry’s true intent was to break into cars and steal property, police officials said.

Hamrick said it may be possible that Perry is involved with other theft cases on-campus, but there is no physical evidence to connect him with the crimes.

After arresting Perry, university police sent him to Sacramento County Jail to be booked.

The day before Perry’s arrest, two incidents of burglary were reported on campus. Because Sac State is a public university, the public can come on campus which automatically increases the chances for criminal activity.

Hamrick said criminals may target the campus, and some at-risk area’s for crime may include the bicycle rack by the bookstore, as well as both bike compounds.
