A man fled from police after attempting to steal computer equipment from the Long Beach City College Pacific Coast Campus Christmas evening, authorities said.

At about 5:41PM Thursday evening, a campus officer noticed a suspicious man walking with a large suitcase and what appeared to be computer equipment belonging to the college, said Long Beach Police Department (LBPD) spokeswoman Marlene Arrona.

The officer attempted to catch up with the man to investigate, but the man fled, leaving the property behind. Assisting officers determined a burglary had indeed occurred on the college campus.

A burglary report was taken, and the investigation is ongoing. No further information was available. We will update this story as we learn more.
