A break-in and burglary at their off-campus apartment in Allston last fall was a wake-up call for Boston University sophomores Ellie, Jenny and Laura.
“And there’s just a hooded figure in the bottom corner of Laura’s bedroom,” she said. “And then I see the flashlight click on and he starts grabbing through her things and I think oh my God I’m watching us get robbed!”The man left after noticing the camera, making it out before police arrived.“They wanted us out immediately they were really scared for us,” said Laura. “My dad said never set foot in that apartment ever again,” adds Ellie.
Borne said police work in partnership with the local colleges and universities to educate students about keeping their homes secure, and what crimes are happening in their neighborhoods. They even provide security assessments. Investing in extra protection, like door stops, window alarms and home security cameras is recommended.
Ellie, Laura and Jenny, who say they discovered that the apartment windows had faulty locks, broke their lease and moved out.
