Item #1
The Haverford College Department of Public Safety would like to make you aware of two separate attacks that occurred at Villanova University this semester. On separate occasions, different female student residents reported that a man assaulted them as they made their way across the campus.

One of the victims described her assailant as having extremely light-colored eyes. Two of the women reported that the man had a couple of days beard growth.

Villanova University's Department of Public Safety and Radnor police are investigating the attacks.

Please be aware of your surroundings when walking on campus, and contact Safety and Security with any questions or concerns.

Item #2
Two Villanova students were arrested for stealing computer related items at State College this past week. The suspects, who were living at Harcum College, admitted taking items from several area schools. A Dell flat-screen monitor, an IBM think-pad, and a Haverford ID card are among the recovered items taken from Haverford College. The suspects admitted coming to Haverford's campus and looking for items left in the open. The allegedly shipped stolen items to a contact in Wisconsin and another contact in Singapore for sale there. The investigation is continuing.

Since the arrests, a student had a laptop taken from a carrel in the Library after leaving it unattended for just a few minutes. There are thieves who come to campus to look for targets of opportunity. Please keep items of importance close at hand at all times.

Thanks!
