Burglars entering through unlocked doors and stealing electronics prompted the university to warn students ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.
Police have made no arrests in connection to the crimes, University Police chief Jim Duckham said, and students should be on the lookout for suspicious activity.
The university urged students to lock doors both when they are at home and when they leave.
One student was shot when three burglars walked into his unlocked house near campus Nov. 6. The student refused treatment for his injuries.
The criminals didn’t ask for anything and fled the scene without stealing any items, police said at the time.
No students have been injured in the most recent burglaries, Duckham said.
Students are urged to call UPD or the Muncie police department if they see suspicious activity and to memorize the UPD phone number – (765) 285-1111.
