An unknown person broke into vehicles in the on-campus parking garage Feb. 5, the St. Edward’s University Police Department reported.

“We’ve possibly got a person of interest or a description of them, but we do not know who they are,”  UPD Lt. Dan Beck said.

The vehicles involved were damaged by forcible entry between noon and 3 p.m.Beck said that UPD is not releasing the number of vehicles involved because the investigation is ongoing.

“We’ve got every available officer working on it,” Beck said

UPD sent out notification to students, faculty and staff via Student E-news to make the St. Edward’s community was aware of the break-ins.

The department also contacted other area universities such as the University of Texas and Concordia University to see whether they have experienced any similar incidents.

Beck said they might have more information available on the crimes early next week, but said that unlike fast-moving television crime dramas, real investigations take time.

“If there is evidence to be processed by a crime lab, it will take a whole lot longer than an hour,” Beck said. “I’ve never gotten anything back from a crime lab in less than four months.”

UPD requests that anyone with information on suspicious activity in the parking garage,  contact them at 448-8444 or at their office in Holy Cross [email protected]
