Less than a day after the suspected Yard burglar was released from the Middlesex County Jail, Matthews Hall was robbed again.

This, along with two other robberies yesterday--one at MIT and one at the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts--have been linked to a person fitting the description of the suspected Yard Burglar, University officials said late last night.

Assistant Dean of Freshmen Philip A. Bean issued a rare warning to first-years last night to be on the lookout for suspicious people in the wake of yesterday's incidents.

Sometime between midnight and 4:30 a.m. yesterday, an unlocked suite in the Yard dorm was burglarized of cash, credit cards, a Harvard ID and a backpack.

The Harvard University Police Department (HUPD) received a report from residents at 8:30 a.m. yesterday about the overnight robbery.

Julie D. Rosenberg '03 noticed yesterday morning that her backpack was missing, and her roommates noticed that their wallets were missing.

"It definitely takes away some of the feeling of safety," she said. "I was hoping to make this feel more like home."

Rosenberg pointed out that students should be thankful that only material items have been taken in the break-ins.
