As we approach the holiday season, the UCF Police Department reminds you to take steps to protect yourself from scammers and thieves.

It isn’t unusual for law enforcement to see an increase in shopper robberies, get-rich-quick schemes, and other scams around this time of year. UCF is no exception to these crimes.

Just this week, we’ve seen criminals targeting our students. That’s why we remind you to always be vigilant about your safety.

You should take the following steps to protect yourself:

The UCF Police Department has received a report of a bear sighting on campus near Knights Plaza.

Bears are typically quiet and shy, but they are wild animals. It is important to remain alert of your surroundings and to be aware of how to react should you see a bear. Never approach or surprise a bear, and do not feed or intentionally attract them. 

The UCF Police Department was made aware late Wednesday of an incident that occurred Tuesday at Knights Circle.

At 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 13, two men armed with handguns entered an apartment in Knights Circle and demanded and stole valuables.

The two suspects are described as tall, black males who wore dark clothing and covered their faces with scarves.

Police believe the apartment was targeted, and it was determined that one of the roommates was engaged in selling drugs.

UPDATE: The Orange County Sheriff's Office believes that the man pictured in the below link is the attacker and lives in the area. Please review the image and contact CRIMELINE with any tips.
