An investigation by the Canisius College Public Safety Department has resulted in the identification of a suspect in connection with the walk-in burglar cases that have occurred in Hamlin Park residences over the last six weeks. The suspect is in the Erie County Holding Center.
Because there may be other suspects in this case, for the remainder of the semester a special Public Safety detail has been established from 6pm-11pm each night to deter any crime in the area of Meech and Hedley Streets.
As always, you are encouraged to use caution on or around campus at all times. Please be aware of your surroundings, avoid any potentially unsafe areas or routes and immediately report any suspicious activity to the Department of Public Safety at 716-888-2330.
