At least one burglar entered residence halls in Kelly and Tabler Quads early Thursday morning and stole personal objects from students, university police said.

The incidents occurred between 2 and 6 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 22, at four dorm rooms in Dewey, Sanger and Schick College buildings, said Chief of Police Robert Lenahan in an email sent to students later the same day.

Two victims were able to recover their belongings after they saw the intruder enter their room. Lenahan said they chased the suspect and confronted him, but he “fled the scene in an unknown direction.”

Witnesses said the burglar is an Asian male in his twenties, 5-foot-9, with a slim build and spiky black hair. He was wearing blue jeans and a dark tank top, according to the police report. The intruder entered all rooms through open doors and unlocked windows, Lenahan said.

Investigators are working with the possibility that there is a second suspect involved and that the incident is connected with similar burglaries that took place in Kelly Quad two weeks ago, police said.

University Police have deployed additional patrols in response to the incidents.

“In light of these recent events, we will be further enhancing our patrol coverage, utilizing both uniformed and plain clothes officers,” Lenahan said.
