Several IU students hit by burglars over holiday

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Burglars hit numerous houses and apartments near the Indiana University campus in Bloomington over the Thanksgiving holiday, making off with more than 20 flat-screen televisions and other items.

Bloomington police reported that thieves took six televisions from one house— one in each of five bedrooms and another in the living room. Other stolen items included two guitars, seven gaming consoles and jewelry boxes.

IU student Hank Powell told The Herald-Times that he found his house broken into when he returned from Indianapolis on Saturday. He says he and his roommates had talked about the burglary possibilities and had agreed to make sure the doors were locked.

City police Lt. David Drake says since so many college students leave for holidays, locking doors and windows doesn't always protect them.
