At least 30 vehicles near the apartments and three nearby Greek houses had their windows shattered and items stolen. Items were also taken from three unlocked vehicles.

A good Samaritan around 2:50 a.m. observed a vehicle burglary in progress and alerted police.

UCF Police alerts you to a string of car burglaries that have occurred recently at an off-campus community.

Students who live in the Pointe at Central have woken up in the mornings to find that their vehicles had been entered and that items were missing.

The vehicles were all unlocked, which made them easy targets for criminals.

We want to remind you to lock your vehicles. Never leave any valuables in plain sight in your car, and if you are traveling with an item susceptible to theft, be sure to store it in your trunk.
