Community Safety Advisory: Vehicle break-ins

September 7, 2023 2:16 p.m.

In the past week, University police have received a number of reports of vehicle break-ins. Three were in Deacon Place Apartments (on the corner of Long Dr. and University Pkwy.). Three were in the parking lot at the University’s Indoor Tennis Center (499 Deacon Boulevard).

In these incidents, the vehicle’s doors were either left unlocked or the windows were broken. Some involved thefts of items that were left in plain view in the passenger areas of the vehicle.

In response to these reports, University Police is increasing patrols in the area.

UPD asks that campus community members make it a habit to lock vehicles and keep valuables out of view.

The University Police Department encourages students, faculty and staff to promptly report suspicious activity they may observe on and off campus. The University Police Department can be reached at 336-758-5911 (emergency) or 336-758-5591 (non-emergency), through the Wake Safe Mobile App or online. The department is located in Alumni Hall.
