Peeping Tom

– March 21, 2013Posted in: General Alerts

On the evening of March 20, 2013, it was reported to the Valparaiso University Police Department (VUPD) that a Caucasian male suspect (40s, stocky build, light facial hair, wearing a blue and orange stocking cap) was watching as a female began to shower. The incident occurred in the third-floor women’s restroom of Guild Hall.

It is believed that the suspect most likely entered the building by following a student through the south main building doorway. Students should be aware of people following them into residence halls, and doors should remain secured for their safety.

Please contact VUPD at 219.464.5430 with any information related to this incident or if you observe suspicious behavior on campus.
