This timely warning aims to provide information to aid the Augsburg community in protecting themselves after a report of a serious crime.\n\nReported Offense\n\nOn 06/28/2026 at approximately 5:54 a.m., the Department of Public Safety received a report of a burglary in progress that occurred outside of a dorm room in Luther Hall. An Augsburg student reported that a male was peeking in her door and ran off after the student called for her roommate.\n\nSuspect Description\n\nNo suspect information at this time.\n\nStatus\n\nThe Augsburg Department of Public Safety is currently investigating this incident. Anyone who may have information regarding this incident is urged to contact the Augsburg Department of Public Safety at 612-330-1717.\n\nReporting Incidents\n\nAugsburg asks its community members to report any and all concerns that may impact our campus community. If You See Something – Say Something. To report, please contact the Department of Public Safety (DPS) at 612-330-1717. You can also download the CampusShield app (through Apple or Android) to message DPS. We also encourage you to utilize the resources available on the DPS website.\n\nSafety Tips\n\nRemain vigilant against tailgating at building entrances. Ensure exterior building entrances shut completely behind you, and do not let unfamiliar people follow you inside without swiping their own fob or ID. Please call the Department of Public Safety at (612) 330-1717 to report the contact with the unfamiliar person when safe to do so.\n\nLock doors and windows: Always lock room, apartment, and house doors – even when you are sleeping, in the shower, or stepping out for a few minutes. Lock all first and second-story windows when you leave.\n\nNever prop doors. Do not prop open residence hall or apartment complex doors, and avoid holding them open for strangers.\n\nHide valuables from plain view.\n\nCall Public Safety or the Minneapolis Police if you see any suspicious activity.\n\nDisclaimer\n\nAugsburg University believes that physical descriptors alone are not a valid reason to profile or cast suspicion on any individual. When physical descriptors are included in communication to the Augsburg community, it is done so because they may reasonably assist in identifying the perpetrator of the incident. Augsburg University uses perceived race and gender descriptors that are provided about a suspect only when additional characteristics (beyond clothing) are also available. Such descriptors are used in an attempt to provide the campus community with important information. However, the University recognizes that race and gender are personal identity attributes that cannot always be accurately perceived by others, and that any reported information may not be accurate.", "isVerbatimConfirmed": true, "sourceUrl": "https://www.augsburg.edu/dps/2026/06/29/timely-warning-attempted-burglary/", "sourceDescription": "Augsburg DPS official timely warning page: Attempted Burglary", "annotations": [ "Dual-fetch of the official DPS page on 2026-08-17: identical 67338-byte HTML.
