Dorm Rooms Burglarized At UC Berkeley

BERKELEY, CA — University of California at Berkeley police are investigating two burglaries that occurred Tuesday morning on the university's Clark Kerr Campus.

At 6:15 a.m., police responded to the Clark Kerr Campus for an in-progress burglary in a dorm room in Building 3, police said.

The three female victims were woken up at 5:50 a.m. by a female burglar ransacking their dorm room. The victims confronted the suspect, and she left the scene, police said.

At 11:11 a.m., police received another report of a burglary in the same building. The male victim told police that he had placed his laptop computer on his desk shortly after midnight and went to sleep, police said. When the victim woke up at 9:45 a.m., he discovered his laptop was missing. His roommate had also noticed a suspicious female loitering in the hallway near their room at 2:39 a.m., police said.

The suspicious female matched the description of the suspect in the earlier burglary, police said.

According to police, they have identified a possible suspect. She is described as a Latino or Middle Eastern female, 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall, 130 to 140 pounds, with short curly dark hair, a medium build,
wearing a dark blue polyester-type jacket, dark shorts and flip flops, police said.
