The campus community was informed of the incident at 10:49 a.m. Oct. 16 via an email from the Office of Public Safety and Emergency Management (OPS). According to the email, the Ithaca Police Department (IPD) is investigating the burglary with support from the OPS. It was reported that someone broke into the building, stole a television and fell asleep in the building.
The Ithaca Police Department is warning people to be aware of possible drugs being slipped into drinks at bars located on The Commons, according to an Intercom announcement Feb. 6.
There has been an uptick in reports of such incidents downtown, IPD Sgt. Kevin Slattery said. Slattery could not disclose which bars are being currently investigated but warned that all students should be conscious of their drinks and surroundings. It is also unclear if these recent incidents are related to similar incidents that occurred in March 2019, as previously reported by The Ithaca Voice. The previous reporting also did not disclose what bars were reported.
The investigation is ongoing, Slattery said
