Burglary
March 5, 5:35 p.m.
Officer Orrill met with a UD student at Benisek Hall on the report of a burglary. The complainant stated that she had returned home at approximately 5:30 a.m. to her landlord-owned house on Lowes Street. She stated that she heard a noise coming from the living room area of the house and went out to inspect the area. She observed a thin, balding black man, approximately 40-50 years old, crawling through her house and into her room. She stated that she observed the male reach for her roommate's desk, at which time she screamed and attempted to wake up her roommate's boyfriend. When she and her roommate's boyfriend searched the house, the suspect had already left the area. The complainant stated that nothing had been removed from the house. She also stated that the back door of the residence was unlocked. There is no reason to believe that this incident is at all linked to reports last week of a male entering houses in the student neighborhoods.
Information in this report was obtained from a Safety Advisory e-mail sent by Randall Groesbeck of Public Safety on March 6.
