Two Burglaries Reported Near Boston University Campus on Move-in Day

Two Burglaries Reported Near Boston University Campus on Move-in Day

“The first week of move in, that’s crazy. It’s really crazy”

I suspect we will be seeing a lot of crime on or around college campuses this year.

NBC News in Boston reports:

‘Unnerving’: At least 2 burglaries near Boston University’s campus during move-in week

As Boston University students returned to the city and were unpacking during move-in week, campus police sent out an alert notifying them of burglaries that happened on or near campus early Saturday.

BU police say there were two incidents that occurred on Bay State Road between 3 a.m. to 6 a.m.

“It’s a little nerve-racking to hear just because I’m moving into college for the first time and to hear that’s happening on campus is a little like unnerving,” freshman James Wong said.

“Yeah it’s kind of shocking but hopefully it will get better,” another student said.

“I was a little scared especially my first time being here,” Avion Levermore said. “I’m from Atlanta and it’s a little different with crime but I wasn’t really expecting that up here, and it’s just scary.”

“The first week of move in, that’s crazy. It’s really crazy,” she added.

Campus police say in one burglary, a person got in through an open window on the ground level and took property from inside around 4 a.m. In the other incident, police say someone reached through an open window and took property from the residence.

Any description of the perps?

No, you’re just stupid.
You think the guy in the fake valet blazer steals your car from the hotel parking lot while you’re asleep at night? Hell, no. He steals it the moment you arrive, because that’s when it’s all unlocked and you put the keys right in his hand.
