Calls from off campus should be made to 845-4448. Two years ago the University Police Department established this call-in program to encourage direct A&M community involvement in the process of repairing faulty outdoor lighting. Callers have helped to eliminate dark areas and create a safer cam pus, said Lt. Bert Kretzschmar, UPD Crime Prevention Unit Supervi sor. "Effective lighting is an important part of maintaining campus safe ty," he said. "Lighting is the number one psychological deterrent to crime. Criminals don't want to be seen." Light Line callers should leave a message with specific directions on the location of the light, Kretzschmar said. The light is repaired as soon as possible after a repair order is for warded to the Physical Plant or the proper department, Kretzschmar said. If there is a concern for areas of new campus lighting, calls should be directed to the Crime Prevention Unit at 845-8900. CRIME STOPPERS Burglars swipe $6,000 in cigarettes In December, thieves committed four Bryan conve nience store burglaries, stealing over 300 cartons of ciga rettes valued at about $6,000. At the Easy Shop on South College Avenue, the thieves forced their way into a locked bathroom where they tore a hole in the ceiling then crawled into the interior of the store. Once inside, the thieves gathered up approximately 150 cartons of cigarettes and some change before crawling back through the ceiling. The Bryan Police Department reports that the four bur glaries are similar, leading them to believe that the same people are involved in the thefts. Detectives also believe that the thieves have been sell ing these cigarettes on the street either by the pack or car ton. T his week the Bryan Police Department and Crime Stoppers need your help to identify the people responsible for these burglaries. If you have information that could be helpful, call Crime Stoppers at 775-TIPS. When you call. Crime Stop pers will assign you a special coded number that will pro tect your identity. If your call leads to an arrest and grand jury indictment, Crime Stoppers will pay up to $1,000 in cash. Crime Stop pers also pays cash for information on any felony crime or the location of any wanted fugitive. If you have any information, please call Brazos County Crime Stoppers at 775-TIPS.
