New term, new crime
New challenges for our ever-vigilant Security team. For those new to the series (it’s §44, where have you been?) I would like to stress that all of the following are taken from genuine Security reports at the University of Nottingham. The names of people and halls have been removed to avoid the possibility of identification and, occasionally, a few tweaks have been made to ensure clarity. This time there are some particularly novel incidents faced and those sheep at Sutton Bonington are causing trouble again
