Recent reports have added to Moscow Police Department’s ongoing investigation of a series of car burglaries on the University of Idaho campus.
“We’re looking for assistance from community members in identifying two possible suspects,” Lt. Dave Lehmitz said.
The suspects are described as white males in their early 20s — one anywhere from 6-foot to 6-foot-3-inches in height and approximately 165 to 175 pounds, while the other is described as 5-foot-8-inches to 5-foot-10-inches in height and 175 to 185 pounds.
Lehmitz said valuable items ranging from laptops to purses have been stolen, and suggested students leave their belongings at home or in the trunk until suspects have been identified.
“They’re breaking windows,” Lehmitz said. “What they’re doing is, they’ll walk by a car, see a backpack or something, break the window and if there’s nothing in it, they’ll discard it.”
Lehmitz said anyone with information regarding the burglaries is encouraged to call MPD at 208.883.7054 or its anonymous tip line at 208.892.3898.
