The robberies occurred between Dec. 14 and Jan. 4. Items stolen ranged in value from inexpensive sunglasses to flat screen televisions. The items were reported missing on Jan. 4. Elon University senior Michelle Longo returned to her apartment to find two television sets and various bottles of liquor missing. “We checked the doors, windows and turned off the lights before we left." Longo said. "1 know he entered through the window because the slipcover was out of place." When senior Gregory Walton returned to his apartment, he noticed that one of the windows was ajar, and the protective screen was removed. Walton said everyone in the apartment had locked the main door before leaving for break. One resident found the door unlocked and lights on when he returned. The stolen items included gum, sunglasses and two containers of change. Walton said the situation was first noticed when an Elon police officer was patrolling the area and he saw the open door and window. He was not informed of the incident until he returned to his apartment. “Apparently an Elon police officer had noticed the window and door were open when on a patrol and closed them, Walton said. “Neither my roommates nor 1 were contacted about the incident prior to our return to campus.” The other two residents could not be reached for comment. Elon police officers will close doors or windows to an unsecured location but will not enter a residence unless a burglary or other incident is reported, Brian Roof, master police officer, said. That responsibility lies under the control of real estate companies and the tenants. According to incident reports, all four crimes are still under further investigation. Detective Kelly Blackwelder of the Elon Police Department is responsible for the investigation. She is waiting on a fingerprint analysis from prints found in a few of the homes. She said the process will take more than six months. “There were no witnesses and the crimes took place over a two-week time period," Blackwelder said. "Property crimes are difficult to solve and we’re currently at a standstill." BRYCE LITTLE | Staff Photogr* Residents reported a wide array of missing items frorn liquor to flat screen televisions.
