Security Notice-Residential Burglary reported in the 1200 Block of Astor

On December 23, the owner of a private off-campus house in the 1200 block of N Astor reported to GU Security that sometime on Saturday December 21, unknown person(s) kicked in the back door to the residence.  The owner of the home called one of the GU students renting the house and advised the student of the break-in.  The owner reported he did a walk-through of the house with the student on the phone determining that the only items taken were two sets of car keys to vehicles parked in the driveway. 

The owner of the house secured the residence and called Crime Check to report the burglary. Later this afternoon the owner of the house conducted another check of the residence and discovered one of the vehicles gone.  He called the GU student and confirmed the vehicle as stolen.
