Police Beat

A letter e-mailed to faculty and staff on Oct. 1 read:

Greetings all:
 
    On Sunday evening, KSU Police officers took a report from a female student who was walking to her car on the north side of Campus when she was approached by a couple of white males in a dark-colored, older-model sedan (no tag number available). One of the males said that if she’d get in the car with them, they’d take her to her car.  As she did not know either of the males, the student declined and caught a ride with some friends that were also in the area. The female student returned to her apartment and called the police who checked the area for the above-described vehicle, without result. As a side note, one of the males was further described as being tall and thin, bald with a full beard, and wearing blue jeans and a light colored shirt. This is the only descriptive information we have regarding this case.

    In closing, kudos to the young lady who listened to her intuition and, just perhaps, avoided becoming a crime victim.  And as always… if you notice any person, vehicle or circumstance that strikes you as suspicious or just plain “not right,” take steps to protect yourself and report the situation to the police without delay.
