CLERY NOTICE

University Police are investigating a reported burglary and assault Thursday morning (Aug. 28) at an off-campus apartment complex leased by West Virginia University.

Occupants at The Ridge Apartments on Community Drive, formerly known as Sterling Ridge, told police they awoke at 3:30 a.m. to find two intruders in their room, Lt. Randy Friend said.

The suspects fled when the occupants awoke, Friend said. One of the occupants was reportedly pushed by one of the suspects as he was trying to make his escape, but no one was injured, he added.

Some electronic equipment had been moved in the apartment, but nothing was stolen, Friend said.

Both suspects are described as young white males with short brown hair and wearing blue jeans. One of the suspects was wearing a dark gray, hooded sweatshirt with white stripes.

Students are reminded to make sure their apartment or residence hall doors are kept locked, Friend said.

Anyone with information is asked to contact University Police at 304-293-2677 (293-COPS).
