Student reports break-in attempts

A TCU student whose report of an attempted break-in spurred a campus crime alert Tuesday told police Wednesday a prowler shone a light into her back door in a separate incident. The woman called Fort Worth police on two consecutive nights about suspicious activity at her residence in the 3500 block of Winston Road.

Fort Worth police investigated a report of an attempted break-in at the residence of an unidentified female TCU student at about 2 a.m. Tuesday. Officers found screens removed from windows of the home. The incident prompted TCU Police to send out the e-mail alert on Tuesday.

Early Wednesday morning, the student called Fort Worth police again when she thought a prowler was on her property, said officer Charles Gonzalez. Gonzalez said the woman told police an unidentified person rang her doorbell and shone a flashlight in the back door.

Officers investigated the property on both incidents and found no other evidence, Gonzalez said.

Fort Worth police Sgt. J.J. Perez said, “This could be a lot of other things than somebody trying to do harm.”

The student said it was too dark to get a description of the man she saw in her yard, Perez said.
