UC Davis police seek campus burglary suspect

By Lauren Keene Enterprise staff writer

UC Davis police are seeking the suspect in a weekend burglary, saying the person may also be responsible for other campus break-ins.

According to a campus crime-alert bulletin, the as-yet-unidentified man used a pry tool to break into Young Hall and force entry into multiple rooms inside the building, which houses UCD’s psychology and anthropology departments.

The burglary occurred at about 4 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 21, “but it is believed this suspect may be responsible for similar crimes reported in recent days/weeks,” the bulletin said. “Some of these incidents may have been reported as a vandalism because entry was unsuccessful and no theft occurred.”

Police described the suspect as a white male adult in his mid-40s, unshaven and of average height and build. He wore a dark-colored baseball cap, blue long-sleeved shirt, jeans and a black backpack during the crime.

Anyone with information about this person is advised to not contact or apprehend him, but rather call the UCD Police Department’s nonemergency line, 530-7521727, or 911 if he’s seen in the immediate area.
