Excerpt from the Wright State Guardian
In recent months, there have been more reports of crimes like car break-ins and housing burglaries. Zachary Norman, head of operations at the Wright State Police Department, explains these crimes.
“The car break-ins are happening on a specific model of car. These are Kias and Nissans,” Norman said. “These are easier to hot wire.”
Norman explains that there is not as much information on the apartment break-ins but assures the community that housing is patrolled.
Tammy Halloway-King is an aunt to a current Wright State Raider. Her niece is a College Park resident who stays in the same building as the break-ins.
“I’m not usually worried about crime at Wright State, but combined with the Walmart shooting and all the problems in her apartment complex, I’m starting to get really worried,” Halloway-King explained.
While Halloway-King’s niece has been attending WSU for a short period, she explains that they have lived close to the school for many years.
“I’ve never really heard much crime coming out of the Wright State area until now. I hope that whatever police department works with them is working on helping these kids,” Halloway-King said.
