Seventeen burglaries reported in University Neighborhood during last two weeks

Sgt. Gary Bulinski, a Syracuse police spokesman, said the burglaries have usually happened at night when people are sleeping in their homes. They then wake up the next morning and report that items including TVs and computers are gone.

Off the top of his head, he said, three involved Syracuse University students. Many of the burglaries have happened around Thornden Park and the surrounding area.

Criminals will often pass information along that doors are usually unlocked in certain neighborhoods, he said. There have been no signs of “forced entry” with the burglaries.

Bulinski said he did not know if any arrests have been made in connection to the burglaries. Since last year, there has been a 24 percent drop in these crimes across the city.

— University Hill: 12 (average: 18)

— Westcott: 13 (average: 16)

From 2010–14, 65 tickets were issued on average from August through October on the Northside — the most in the city.
