Criminal Damage

There were five separate incidents of criminal property damage on Dec. 9, according to the daily campus safety log and Lt. David Cox, administrative division commander for the university’s Department of Public Safety. 

All five incidents occurred outside Maple Hall, a residential hall in the Woods Community.

On Dec. 9, the department sent out a campus-wide email communication, reporting five incidents of vehicle vandalism in the community’s parking lots.

Car keying is a type of criminal vandalism. Cox confirmed the property damage incidents reported in the safety log and the keying incidents reported in the campus-wide email are the same. 

According to the email, an investigation is occurring and the department is increasing patrols in the area. 

Safety Tips

The department advises all residents to check their vehicles regularly and to report any crime or suspicious activity they observe. The email also encourages those with any information to contact the department.
