Campus theft marks fourth in two weeks
| Staff Writer
A Circle Apartment 2 resident reported Saturday that a television, iPod and other items had been stolen sometime between 12:30 and 3:30 a.m. The burglary is the fourth incident of theft to occur on campus during the past two weeks.
Officials are investigating the incident as a burglary and said they have no leads yet. Investigator Tom Dunn said there was no sign of forced entry.
Dunn also said $300 worth of merchandise from BJ’s Subconnection was reported stolen April 19.
Junior Kyle Rogers, who lives in the Circle Apartment 2 building, said he feels insecure in light of recent robberies on campus.
“It’s scary to know that people are stooping to thievery here,” he said. “I still feel reasonably safe.”
Dunn said he is unsure if this incident is linked to the others recent on campus.
“We can’t rule anything in, we can’t rule it out,” he said.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the Office of Public Safety at 607-274-3333, or to leave an anonymous voice mail message at 274-1060.
