Mercy St. Vincent Employee’s Purse Stolen in MOB 2 Surface Lot
Sunday, Jan. 22, 2012, three men, who are suspected to have been looking for valuables in cars in the MOB 2 surface lot, confronted an employee going to her car and stole her purse. The employee was unharmed. Mercy’s Public Safety Department, which recently added police capabilities to its line of services, is investigating the incident and has enlisted the assistance of the Toledo Police Department.
The safety of employees, patients and visitors is Mercy’s top priority. Our team of Public Safety Officers continuously and frequently patrols parking areas to minimize opportunities for criminal activity. Also, if you are walking to your vehicle alone at night or are uncomfortable going to another part of the property, you are encouraged to contact Public Safety at (419) 251-4444 and an officer will be dispatched to escort you to your vehicle or destination on campus.
While the experts in Mercy’s Public Safety department are a tremendous resource in preventing and solving crime, safety is a cooperative effort. There are many strategies you can employ every day, wherever you are, to ensure the safety of yourself and others. These apply as much at the mall or at church as they do to workplace parking areas.
