A Final Night of Crime

The arrest followed a 12-hour crime spree that spanned the Yard. At least three suites in two dorms were robbed, as multiple Yard residents reported seeing the suspected burglar around the Yard Thursday night.

Two suites in Matthews Hall were burglarized, each for the second time, and a third suite in Weld Hall was robbed.

Matthews' resident Courtney M. Brown '03 and her roommates had their wallets stolen two weeks ago while they were sleeping.

Thursday night while they slept they had a number of items stolen, including their newly replaced Harvard IDs, two pairs of running shoes, a day planner and an Abercrombie & Fitch jacket.

The women say they were unaware that their door was unlocked.

Across the Yard in Weld, K. Eliza Harris '03 awoke Friday morning to find that her backpack had been stolen. It contained her study materials for a midterm that morning.

The suite has a sign on the back of their door that reads, "Lock the door. There have been a rash of burglaries lately. Do you want your things stolen?"
