Several burglaries have been reported on campus in the past week.  

On Feb. 25, an unauthorized person entered the Barnhart Hall 1st, 2nd, and 4th floors between 10:58 p.m. and 11:15 p.m., and attempted to pry open the 1st and 4th floor lounge doors.  

The same person and a second person are wanted for questioning in connection with two burglaries last week at the Living Learning Center South (LLCS) and Carson Hall when laundry was stolen from dryers in the buildings.  

UOPD has identified two suspects in these three cases and is asking for your assistance in locating them and preventing further crimes in residence halls. If you see these suspects, have additional information, or know their whereabouts, please contact UOPD at 541-346-2919. 

Suspect 1 is a white male, 6’3”, 150 lbs, blond hair, blue eyes, approximately 25 years old.  

Suspect 2 is a white female, 5’5’, 150 lbs, blond hair, green eyes, approximately 35 years old.  

On Sunday, Feb. 23, 2025, a separate and unrelated unauthorized person was found in the Matthew Knight Arena men’s locker room by a UO employee. The person had gathered items and hidden them in a suite bathroom. Items were returned to the employee, and the suspect left the building.  

The suspect is a white male, 5’9”, heavy-set, dark brown hair, large gauges in both ears, wearing a black t-shirt.  

Updates regarding these incidents, when and if available, will be posted to alerts.uoregon.edu. 

What is this notice? Campus Crime Alerts are released by the University of Oregon Police Department when certain crimes are reported on or near campus property, and in compliance with federal law. These timely warnings provide information about campus safety situations and allow campus community members to take precautions for personal safety. All crimes should be reported as soon as possible to local law enforcement.  

SAFETY TIPS FROM UOPD  

No action or inaction by a crime survivor makes that person responsible for his or her victimization. Perpetrators are responsible for crimes and their effects. The following suggestions may help reduce the possibility of experiencing such a crime or may improve opportunities to receive prompt assistance. 

• Communities are safest when members look out for each other. Report any suspicious activity or unauthorized strangers immediately.
• Secure your belongings and don’t leave them unattended.
• Make sure doors and windows are locked.
• Don’t hold doors open for unknown people to let them enter private, secure areas.
• Be alert traveling to, from, and around campus – especially at night.
• Carry a well-charged cell phone with emergency numbers pre-programmed.
• Bystanders should try to be aware of their surroundings, and if there are signs of a person in distress, bystanders should make themselves known and offer assistance if it is safe to do so, and/or seek immediate help from police or security personnel.   
• Report criminal activity (such as a break-in or intruder, robbery, or assault) immediately to 9-1-1, or for non-emergency situations on campus, to UOPD at 541-346-2919.
