UCLA police seek two criminals on campus
Members of the UCLA community continue to search for two prowlers who have recently terrorized various groups of people on campus.
Police are seeking Jorge Angel Velasco and Brent Kennedy who have been seen in suspicious circumstances on campus recently.
Velasco was arrested in March for prowling near a dormitory and was seen shortly after a failed attempt by an unidentified male to break into an occupied office.
Kennedy was seen masturbating in a woman's bathroom and has been seen in the same general area several times in the late afternoon or early evening.
The threats have prompted several security warnings to students on campus. One e-mail urged women to be aware of their surroundings when using the bathroom.
"If they see somebody just doing any kind of strange behavior, they should call us and let the professionals take care of it," crime analyst Kristi Godines said.
Velasco is mainly sought as a person of interest in the incidents.
"People think maybe he has information that could be helpful in some of the burglaries and thefts on campus," Nancy Greenstein, director of police community relations for UCPD said.

Penn hosts high-profile stars at election rally
The University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) has played host to a variety of high-profile musical acts during the past week.
Rappers Ludacris and the Gym Class Heroes performed over the past week, and the campus hosted R&B star John Legend. Performing the week before the hotly contested Democratic primary in the state, Legend sang to draw support for Senator Barack Obama, who is seeking the nomination for president.
In his seven-song set at the UPenn Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, Legend serenaded the audience with "Ordinary People," one of his signature hits. The singer also graduated from UPenn in 1999.
Appearing with Legend was Kalpen Modi, better known as Kal Penn, who also rallied in support of Obama. Modi currently serves as a professor at UPenn.
