Police announced Sunday morning that they’ve arrested a burglary suspect in a UCLA lecture hall building after finding weapons and hate crime evidence.

“UCLA Police arrested a suspect in Haines Hall after recovering stolen posters honoring African-American figures, a stun gun, campus keys, and other prohibited items,” the department said in a social media post. It was not clear whether there were any classes in session or students present at the time of arrest.

Police did not immediately identify the suspect or say if they were a student or employee at UCLA. However, the department did say that the suspect now faces charges of burglary, weapons possession, possession of stolen property and a hate crime enhancement.

According to the UCLA maps website, the Center for African American Studies Library is located in Haines Hall. The library contains “Newspapers, journals, books, photographs, pamphlets, audiovisual sources and other research materials reflecting the African American experience in the social sciences, arts, and humanities,” the website states.

The site shows that Haines Hall, located at 375 Portola Plaza, is also home to Anthropology, Sociology and other departments.

Details are limited, and authorities did not say when the arrest was made but the department said this arrest was linked to similar incidents that have been under investigation since February of 2025.

Anyone with information regarding this arrest or similar incidents is encouraged to contact UCLA PD Detectives.
