The reports occurred primarily in the east neighborhood area, particularly around the 100 and 200 blocks of Comstock Ave.\n\nWe ask our community members, particularly those living in off-campus neighborhoods, to remain alert for suspicious activity. To enhance your safety and protect your personal belongings, we recommend taking the following steps:\n\n- Park your vehicle in an area you are familiar with and that has proper lighting;\n\n- Close and lock all windows and doors;\n\n- Store valuable items in secure places where they are out of plain sight, such as a glove box or trunk and bring items like your laptop computer or phone inside with you;\n\n- Do not leave your keys in the vehicle or your vehicle running; and\n\n- Report all suspicious activity and behavior immediately.\n\nPlease contact DPS at 315.443.2224 if you have any information regarding these recent crimes. If you would like to anonymously report NON-EMERGENCY information for DPS, you can use the Silent Witness tool.\n\nThis public safety information is issued for your safety in compliance with the Jeanne Clery Act.",
