Students said that the robber matched the description of a robber wanted in connection with burglaries last weekend in Thayer Hall.
Lamas' roommate, Ana Marie Lopez '03, was asleep in the other room when the robbery occurred.
In another Matthews suite, one wallet was stolen while the victim's roommate was changing clothes in an adjoining bedroom. The victim, who asked to remain anonymous, said she was sleeping at the time.
The roommate returned from the bathroom, and went into her bedroom. While inside, she reported she heard "scuffling" in the common room. When she investigated, she saw someone exiting the room.
The residents of a second-floor suite where a robbery seemed to be narrowly averted proved luckier.
Sitting on her couch in her second-floor suite around the time of the two robberies, Julie D. Rosenberg '03 said she heard her door open.
She said she heard two men talking in the hallway. One yelled, "They're not sleeping," and then slammed her door. Rosenberg did not report the incident to the Harvard University Police Department (HUPD).
