Two students were arrested for stealing street signs from the southeast corner of East Eighth Street and North Fremont Avenue Sept. 27, reports stated.
A witness called police at 12:14 a.m. to report that two men and two women picked up and carried a pole into Skyview Apartments, 1050 E. Eighth St.
A yield sign, North Eighth Street sign and North Fremont Avenue sign were all attached to the pole that the team carried up the east stairwell of the apartment building.
Police found two large dirt piles outside of the students’ door. The signs were inside the apartment and had been taken off the pole with pliers.
One of the men said that the pole was lying on the ground when they found it. He told police that it never occurred to him to notify the city of Tucson and that he thought it was okay to take the property if it was not standing.
The two women were not identified by the men.

Police responded at 12:46 a.m. to a report of the smell of burnt marijuana.
A man and a woman said they had arrived to the apartment about a half-hour before the police arrived. The two said they had taken shots of vodka recently, but they could not explain the smell of marijuana.
The man’s roommate was visibly nervous and shaking a little. He told police he couldn’t believe what was happening and that his parents “”…are just not going to understand.””
The man was worried about getting kicked out of the dorms.
The student said that he has friends over who did not live on campus. He said one of them brought over a joint that everyone passed around.
The female student was taken back to her dorms by police as a safety measure.
