CAITLIN K ELLY News Editor Moore Hall was the target of two burglaries in one week, and as a result, Campus Security is planning to expand its presence on campus. On the morning of April 19, CS received a report of multiple breakins on the fourth floor of Moore Hall. Seven offices were broken into, and six computers were reported missing. On April 23, a suspicious couple was reported outside of Moore
Hall, and it was later found that multiple rooms were broken into on the third floor and two computers were taken. “I suspect it’s the same individual,” said Campus Security Captain and Acting Chief Alberta Pukahi. “ The same methods were used, so I do suspect it’s highly likely the same individual. Why they did it, it could be any number of reasons.” The total cost of the stolen computers and repairs to the offices is unknown at this time. Pukahi has
not been updated on the progress of Honolulu Police Department investigations being conducted into past burglaries on campus.

Cameras are also in the process of being inst alled in

St a ir wells could also include cameras, depending on the design of the building. “Designs of buildings differ from building to building,” Pukahi said. “Some of the stairs may be enclosed, some of them are open, so that would be a planning issue. That’s something that’s being addressed right now.” See CS, page 2
