Please be advised of the following safety information and share it with those who do not receive e-mail:
Greeley Police received a report of a burglary about 3 a.m. Sept. 14 at an off-campus residence in the 1000 block of Cranford Street near Gunter Hall. The victim described the suspect as a short, Hispanic male, approximately 20-25 years of age, with a thin build and wearing red shorts and a gray tank top. He entered her residence through an unlocked door while she was asleep. She awoke to see the suspect taking property from her room and fleeing.
UNC Police remind members of the university community to take safety precautions to help minimize exposure to crime. When living in an off-campus residence, keep porch lights or motion detectors on at night if available. Be sure to lock your doors and windows. If you leave a window open for circulation, secure the window so it cannot be opened more than a few inches. This can be done with a metal, wooden, or PVC pipe cut to allow three to four inches of movement for sliding glass windows and doors.
If you live in the campus residence halls, make sure your door is closed and locked when you leave the room or when you are showering or sleeping. Do not allow strangers to follow you in through the main doors of the hall. Report suspicious persons or activity to the University Police Department at (970) 351-2245 (and if you haven't already, program this number into your cell phone).
A few other important safety precautions you can take:
- Be alert and aware of your surroundings.
- Be cautious of strangers.
- Walk with others at night and stay in frequently traveled, well-lighted, open areas. Call UNC Police at (970) 351-2245 to request an escort if you're uncomfortable walking alone at night.
- Don't get so engrossed in text messaging or using your cell phone or audio player that you forget to look around.
