Unlawful Entry

February 13, 9:00 a.m.

Officer Arnold met with a UD student at Benisek Hall on a report of a possible burglary. The complainant stated that on February 11 at approximately 3 a.m. an unknown person kicked in the front door and entered her residence on Lowes Street. She stated that she confronted the person, who was accompanied by another male and two females, in her kitchen and asked the group to leave the house. She stated that the four refused to leave until she threatened to call the UD Police. The four unknown suspects then fled the house and broke several pieces of her lawn furniture that had been on the front porch. Officer Arnold was unable to find any evidence of forced entry as there was no deadbolt on the door to the residence. One of the suspects had entered the first floor bedroom of the complainant's roommate and used a permanent marker to write the letter "B" and the number "40" with two stick figures of people on the bedroom door. The complainant described the four suspects as late 20s to early 30s.
