Police said a 21-year-old woman, who lived in the Roosevelt University dormitories at 450 S. Michigan Ave., let the 20-year-old woman into the building and into the room she shared with the victim, a 19-year-old Roosevelt student. Police said the 20-year-old was identified as the victim’s girlfriend.

The 20-year-old then called the victim and told her that she had “trashed” her room and when the victim arrived back at her room, she found it had been ransacked and her property had been both destroyed and stolen.

Police said university security removed the 20-year-old from the dormitory and moved the victim to another room. Police said the victim reported damage to $800 worth of clothes, a $600 computer and two mirrors while jewelry worth $1,350 was reported missing as well as $250 in cash.
