The person(s) left without stealing anything and did not come in contact with the dorm residents, according to UConn police.

UConn police have not identified any suspects at this time.

The crime alert asks anyone with information to contact UConn police at 860-486-4800 or to email the anonymous tip line at crimealerts@uconn.edu.

As a precaution, UConn police advise students to lock doors and windows, report suspicious individuals in the dorms or unusual activity to campus police, close building doors behind them and to report any lost dorm keys to the campus locksmith at 860-486-2921. More information on what students can do if they lose their dorm keys is available on the university's website.
