Crime Alert – Burglaries to residential buildings

 

Issued Wednesday, 2/13/13

 

Tuesday, February 12, 2013, the Department of Public Safety received two separate reports of burglaries to College faculty houses at the edge of the main campus. 

The residence at 468 South Main Street, near the Golf Course, was burglarized sometime during the day yesterday.  The crime was discovered at 3:47 p.m. and reported to the Middlebury Police.   Unknown suspect(s) broke a window to gain entry.

The residence located at 550 Route 125, a short distance west of McCardell Bicentennial Hall, was burglarized sometime yesterday between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.   Because this residence is located in Cornwall, it was reported to the Vermont State Police.  Unknown suspect(s) kicked in the door to gain entry.  

Anyone with information about either of these crimes or who may have seen vehicles or people in either of these areas recently is urged to call the Department of Public Safety or the police.
