Syracuse University’s Department of Public Safety and the Syracuse Police Department are investigating burglaries in Watson and Lawrinson Halls that reportedly occurred Monday night, according to campus-wide email sent by police Tuesday.
The burglars pulled fire alarms in an effort to create a distraction while burglarizing unlocked dorm rooms, according to DPS. Cash, speakers, headphones, wallets, shoes and jewelry were among the personal items stolen Monday night, according to DPS.
The department said it has increased patrols in residence halls since the incident and will send law enforcement and fire safety staff to dorms when a fire alarm is pulled.
