University of North Texas students are on high alert following reports of burglaries in campus dormitories over the holiday break. The UNT Police Department took to social media to alert students of the incidents, detailing the West Hall and Kerr Hall events, respectively.
According to the University of North Texas Police Department's post, a burglary at West Hall on Sunday resulted in property theft without any sign of forced entry. "The unknown person(s) entered the room by unknown means and committed theft of property," the department reported. The room's inhabitant was away at the time. Similarly, last Friday, the department further explained that another student's dorm room at Kerr Hall was breached, and items were stolen, potentially through an unlocked door.
In one of these incidents, the students' car keys were taken, leading to the subsequent theft of their vehicle. This alarming detail underscores the brazen nature of the burglaries and has likely intensified concern among the campus community. The police have yet to identify any suspects in these thefts.
The UNT Police Department has not released further details on the investigation. Still, they have encouraged students to maintain vigilance and secure their belongings, especially during breaks when dormitories might not be fully occupied.
