Campus lights
Un vT :sity police use 24-hour hotline
to pair non-working exterior lights
By MELODY DUNNE
The Battalion
Damaged or non-working exterior lights on campus can be re
paired or replaced by calling L-I-G-H-T-S (5-4448), the Light Line's 24-
hour number.
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.
