Campus Crime Log

This week, Boston University Police Chief Thomas Robbins recommends that students take a minute to lock up before leaving their rooms. “The majority of thefts in dorm rooms and offices occur because the door is unlocked,” Robbins says. “Lock doors and windows whenever you leave, even if it is only for a minute.”

The BUPD crime log for February 11 through February 24 is below. The next campus crime log will appear on Wednesday, March 5.
