A 17-year-old individual with no affiliation to Syracuse University is facing several charges after being arrested following a burglary incident that was reported just after 3 a.m. this morning. The same individual is believed to be responsible for several other burglaries in the area.

Public Safety Update
On Sunday, September 19, 2021, at approximately 12:57 a.m., Syracuse University students living at University Village Apartments on South Campus observed a group, described as eight young male teenagers with no affiliation to the University, trying to break into apartments. The students confronted the group and apprehended one of the suspects, while the rest of the group took off. The students called Syracuse Police, who in turn alerted the Department of Public Safety.
While waiting for police to arrive, the students reported that the group returned to the property and threw rocks at the building and windows. The students attempted to apprehend the other suspects, but they fled the scene heading north away from campus through the backyards in the 1500 block of Westmoreland Avenue. One of the suspects reportedly fired a shot into the air while standing near the sidewalk in the 2000 block of East Colvin Street which is just north of the University Village Apartments.
When law enforcement arrived on the scene, the detained teenager was taken into police custody. A magazine for a handgun was located during a ground search of the area adjacent to South Campus. No injuries were reported, and no further description of the suspects is available.
