Office equipment is stolen from City Hall

A lobby window at Long Beach City Hall was smashed sometime late Friday or early Saturday and office equipment was stolen from two floors, police said.

A security guard discovered the shattered first-floor window on Ocean Boulevard and called police about 6 a.m. Saturday, reporting it as vandalism.

But a check of the building revealed missing office equipment from the first floor as well as the 14th floor, where a glass door was broken to gain access to a common area.

No alarm was activated, police said.

The mayor’s and City Council’s offices are on the 14th floor, but their personal offices were not broken into, said Long Beach public information officer Jason Evans.

He said it appeared that only office equipment had been taken, but investigators would have to wait until City Hall personnel returned to work to determine the full extent of the losses.
