Thieves Steal $35,000 in Camera Gear From Troy Baseball Team Bus in Omaha

Police are investigating a theft that forced Troy to rely on loaned cameras to cover its College World Series games.

Overview

  • Troy reported roughly $35,000 worth of cameras and lenses missing from a storage compartment under the team bus after it was parked near the downtown hotel, with the loss discovered before the team’s game at Charles Schwab Field.
  • Omaha police confirm an active investigation and say no arrests have been made as officers pursue leads and review available reports.
  • The NCAA, local organizer CWS Inc. and host schools Creighton and NebraskaOmaha quickly lent equipment so Troy photographers could shoot and share images of the team’s 12-8 win over Ole Miss.
  • Troy officials said the theft disrupted the program’s ability to document its first College World Series trip and they thanked local partners for helping preserve game coverage for players and the school.
  • The incident highlights a common vulnerability at large events when teams store media gear on buses, and it could prompt tighter controls, more frequent checks of parked vehicles, and greater coordination between teams and hosts at future tournaments.
