DAYTON — The University of Dayton is urging students to keep their house windows and doors locked after break-ins Saturday night.

At least two houses in the North Student Neighborhood were burglarized around 9 p.m., according to a safety advisory issued Sunday to comply with Department of Education requirements.

An adult and a juvenile were apprehended shortly after a student contacted UD’s Department of Public Safety about the break-in of his Woodland Avenue home.


The suspects had property owned by the student who reported the crime and were arrested, the advisory says.

The second burglary was reported around the same time. 
Police believe the burglars entered through an unlocked door. They noted that criminals often prey on those who leave windows and doors unlocked.
