*ATTEMPT TO COMMIT A CRIME*

Issued: May 12, 2009

 

*INCIDENT*

On Monday, May 11, 2009 at approximately 9:47 p.m., MIT Police responded 

to a report of six masked men in Westgate Lowrise dormitory. A witness 

observing the men in the hallway alerted MIT police. No crime was 

committed, as the suspects fled the area.

 

*SUSPECT DESCRIPTION *

There is only a brief description of one suspect, who is described by 

the witness as: male, Asian, heavyset, and with short cropped hair. The 

masked men fled the area in a white Mitsubishi.

 

*SUMMARY*

A resident of Westgate Lowrise was expecting guests, so when the 

doorbell rang the resident buzzed the entry door open from the apartment 

without inquiring who was visiting. A witness observed three men, two 

wearing bandannas to cover their faces. The third suspect, described 

above, hadn't pulled the bandanna up. An MIT officer followed the 

fleeing white Mitsubishi as it drove along Memorial Drive and several 

other streets before hitting a parked car, at which time all suspects 

exited the vehicle and fled the scene. Massachusetts State Police and 

Boston Police assisted in searching the area to no avail.

 

*SUGGESTIONS:*

 

Do not buzz people into your residence until you have confirmed who is 

there.

Utilize the intercom system, if available.

Utilize door viewer (peep holes) to see who is outside of your door 

before opening the door.

 

Program your cell phone with our emergency number (617-253-1212).

bulletin boards in your area.
