Campus Security & Public Safety

A student reported today that around 4:05 a.m. today a Caucasian male attempted to force a basement window open and gain entry to an off-campus, non-University-owned residence in the E. 900 block of Desmet Ave. The student shouted at the intruder, startling him and causing him to flee northbound.  The student also reported that the intruder, upon being discovered, stated this was just a prank before he fled.  GU Security and Spokane Police were notified. In his rush to flee, the intruder left behind a knife (used to pry the window screen) and bike.  

Here are some important steps you can take to help protect your property:

* Lock your doors and windows. Keep curtains and blinds closed, especially at night.

* Make sure all of your exterior lights are working.  Recommend installation of motion activated exterior lights.

* Report all crimes immediately to 911.

* Report suspicious persons and activities immediately to 911.

If you encounter a subject in your residence, do not attempt to confront them. Go to a safe place and call 911.

Please notify Campus Security of such incidents as soon as possible at 313-2222 so that others in the neighborhood can be alerted.
