West Virginia University issues campus warning following reported burglary
MORGANTOWN, W. Va. (KDKA) - WVU Police have issued a campus warning after a reported burglary at a home on Belmar Avenue near campus.

Similar to Saturday morning's burglary, the suspects are believed to have entered through unlocked windows.
As a result of the burglaries, campus police will be visiting residencies in the area to provide safety reminders to those living there. If the residents are not him, they will provide written material.
