"Our officers immediately increased patrols in this area which will continue throughout the fall break," Chief Sherry St. Clair said in a release. "With so many members of the University community away from campus, there may be additional cases that have not yet been reported. We urge everyone to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity as soon as possible." 

The university is reminding people to leave their windows, doors, and vehicles locked and say that anyone who believes they're in danger should call 911, WVU Police, and use the school's blue light emergency call system, if available. 

Anyone with information about the burglaries is asked to call WVU Police.
