The Northeastern University Police Department [NUPD] is working with the Boston Police Department in investigating an attempted unarmed robbery that occurred at approximately 9:00pm last evening. The incident occurred on the Gainsborough Street side of the Camden Footbridge. The victim, a Northeastern student, reported that a male suspect attempted to pull off her necklace and take her cell phone. The victim sustained minor injuries and no items were taken by the suspect. The suspect fled the area, away from campus on a moped.

The Boston Police Department has received similar reports of necklace and chain larcenies in the city of Boston. This is the first that has been reported on the Boston campus.

Out of an abundance of caution, the NUPD will increase patrols on campus, and we would like to remind our community about the following safety tips:

Be Aware of Your Surroundings

Remove distractions whenever possible. Getting lost in thought or in your headphones may be routine when walking to class or studying in a quiet spot, but it is crucial to keep your eyes and ears open. While this sounds easy enough, listening to music, talking on a cell phone, and text messaging are all distractions. Know what is going on around you and keep alert. Plan your route and avoid unfamiliar streets whenever possible. If you notice anything that you feel is unsafe or suspicious, notify NUPD immediately. If you find yourself in a situation where you feel unsafe or threatened, contact NUPD at 617-373-3333, use a Blue Light Emergency Phone, or activate the SafeZone App.

Avoid Walking Alone

There is safety in numbers, and it is always beneficial to walk with others, especially at night. Wanting to get home after a night out or between late night classes, you may be tempted to give in to walking alone – avoid it whenever possible and if you feel unsafe, contact NUPD.

SafeZone Mobile Safety App 

SafeZone is a smart phone app that any student, faculty, or staff member can download and use for free. This app will connect you directly to NUPD should you need our assistance or emergency support while you are on campus. More information on the SafeZone mobile app can be found at nupd.northeastern.edu/safezone

Trust Your Instincts

Taking control of your own safety means doing what is necessary to avoid dangerous situations. If something doesn’t feel right, even if you can’t put your finger on why, try to remove yourself from the situation altogether. Trust your instincts and contact NUPD for assistance.

Emergency Notification | Timely Warning Notification

NU Alerts are issued when an immediate threat to health or safety of the campus has been confirmed. Timely Warning notifications are sent by email when a serious and/or violent crime has occurred on campus but there is no imminent threat.

NUPD Timely Warning Notification

The Northeastern University Police Department [NUPD] and the Boston Police Department are investigating an unarmed robbery that occurred outside of the Renaissance Park building earlier this morning. A staff member performing maintenance on their vehicle was approached by a male suspect that threatened the staff member and proceeded to flee the area in the staff member’s vehicle. The staff member was not injured and this has been determined to be an isolated incident. The suspect was later apprehended outside of Boston. There is no continued threat to the campus.

The NUPD would like to share the following important safety tips:

Keep It Secure

• Similar to securing your office and other spaces, it is important to secure your vehicle when it is not being operated. When doors are unlocked, you may be inadvertently providing access to someone that is not authorized. Both on-campus and off-campus, keeping doors on your vehicle and your building secure helps keep everyone safe. If you find yourself in a situation where you feel unsafe or threatened, contact NUPD at 617.373.3333 or activate the SafeZone app as soon as you are able.

Be Aware of Your Surroundings

• Remove distractions whenever possible. Getting lost in thought or in your headphones may be routine when walking to class or studying in a quiet spot, but it is crucial to keep your eyes and ears open. While this sounds easy enough, listening to music, talking on a cell phone, and text messaging are all distractions. Know what is going on around you and keep alert. Plan your route and avoid unfamiliar streets whenever possible. If you notice anything that you feel is unsafe or suspicious, notify security staff immediately.

NUPD Timely Warning Notification

The Northeastern University Police Department [NUPD] is working with London authorities on investigating an incident that occurred this morning at Devon House, the NCH at Northeastern campus in London. The incident involved an individual who entered the campus building without proper access. The individual was quickly located and escorted out of the building. While no one was injured and no items were taken, the individual verbally threatened a staff member. The suspect is not believed to be affiliated with Northeastern.

The NUPD would like to share the following important safety tips:

Keep the Building Secure

• The individual involved in this morning’s incident was able to gain access to the building while someone was leaving through the secured entry. If security doors are held or propped open, you may be inadvertently providing access to someone that is not authorized to be in the building. Both on-campus and off-campus, keeping doors secure helps keep the building and its occupants safe. Similarly, holding open a secured door for someone you don’t know, or allowing someone to enter as you exit without properly signing in, puts the building’s security at risk. Don’t be afraid to ask the individual to use their own key or card to access the building. If you feel that there is a building security issue, notify security staff immediately.

Be Aware of Your Surroundings

• Remove distractions whenever possible. Getting lost in thought or in your headphones may be routine when walking to class or studying in a quiet spot, but it is crucial to keep your eyes and ears open. While this sounds easy enough, listening to music, talking on a cell phone, and text messaging are all distractions. Know what is going on around you and keep alert.

NUPD Timely Warning Notification

The Northeastern University Police Department [NUPD] is investigating an incident that occurred earlier this evening in Stetson West and Speare Hall involving an individual that entered the residential buildings without proper access. During the incident, the individual entered two rooms that had doors propped open. Residents and ResLife staff quickly notified the NUPD leading to the apprehension of the suspect. The suspect is not affiliated with Northeastern. No one was injured and no items were taken during this incident.

While there is no further threat, the NUPD would like to share the following important safety tips:

Keep the Building Secure

• The individual in question was able to gain access to the building while someone was leaving through the secured door. He also entered a room because someone left the door open. If security doors are propped open, you may be inadvertently providing access to someone that is not authorized to be in the building. Both on-campus and off-campus, keeping doors secure helps keep the building and its residents safe. Similarly, holding open a secured door for someone you don’t know puts the building’s security at risk. Don’t be afraid to ask the individual to use their own key or card to access the building. If you feel that there is a building security issue, notify NUPD at 617-373-3333 or utilize the SafeZone app.

Be Aware of Your Surroundings

• An alert Proctor notified NUPD immediately when he saw the individual improperly enter the building. Remove distractions whenever possible. Getting lost in thought or in your headphones may be routine when walking to class or studying in a quiet spot, but it is crucial to keep your eyes and ears open. While this sounds easy enough, listening to music, talking on a cell phone, and text messaging are all distractions. Know what is going on around you and keep alert. Plan your route and avoid unfamiliar streets whenever possible. If you notice anything that you feel is unsafe or suspicious, notify NUPD at 617-373-3333 or utilize the SafeZone app.

SafeZone Mobile Safety App

• SafeZone is a smart phone app that any student or staff member can download and use for free. Should you need emergency assistance, this app will connect you directly to the NUPD and on-duty police personnel. More information on the SafeZone mobile app can be found at nupd.northeastern.edu/safezone.

Trust Your Instincts

• Taking control of your own safety means doing what is necessary to avoid dangerous situations. If something doesn’t feel right, even if you can’t put your finger on why, try to remove yourself from the situation altogether. Trust your instincts.

• Northeastern University uses the NU Alert system to communicate emergency notifications and timely warning messages to our community. Messages sent on this system may go to emails and phone numbers registered in your myNortheastern portal. Be sure to keep this information current. NU Alerts are issued when an immediate threat to health or safety of the campus has been confirmed.

NUPD Timely Warning Notification

The Northeastern University Police Department and city law enforcement agencies are investigating two incidents involving knives that had occurred during the past 24 hours near the Boston campus. Neither the victims, nor the suspects involved in these incidents were affiliated with Northeastern. The most recent incident was an assault that occurred at approximately 1:02 a.m. today, Thursday, April 15, in front of the Douglas Park leased property at 650 Columbus Avenue. The suspect was armed with a knife and was known to the victim. The victim sustained an injury to their arm and was transported to the hospital. The suspect was arrested by the Boston Police Department.

The earlier incident had occurred on Wednesday, April 14 at 4:22 p.m. It was an armed robbery of a bicycle on Camden Street near the Carter Park Tennis Courts. The victim sustained minor injuries and all three suspects involved in this incident were apprehended by the NUPD and State Police.

These incidents are part of an increase in reported criminal activity in the communities surrounding our Boston campus. The safety and wellbeing of our university community remains our top priority. We want to remind you to stay vigilant and pay attention to surroundings at all times as you are enjoying outdoor activities and going about your business on and around campus.

Here are some important safety tips:

Be Aware of Your Surroundings. Remove distractions whenever possible. Getting lost in thought or in your headphones may be routine when walking to class or studying in a quiet spot, but it is crucial to keep your eyes and ears open. While this sounds easy enough, listening to music, talking on a cell phone, and text messaging are all distractions. Know what is going on around you and keep alert. Plan your route and avoid unfamiliar streets whenever possible. If you notice anything that you feel is unsafe or suspicious, notify NUPD at 617-373-3333 or utilize the SafeZone app.

Should you need emergency assistance, this app will connect you directly to the NUPD and on-duty police personnel.

Avoid Walking Alone. There is safety in numbers and it is always beneficial to walk with others, especially at night. This is still true when considering healthy distancing and other current COVID protocols. Wanting to get home after a night out or between late night classes, you may be tempted to give in to walking alone – avoid it whenever possible and if you feel unsafe, contact NUPD at 617-373-3333 or utilize the SafeZone app.

Trust Your Instincts. Taking control of your own safety means doing what is necessary to avoid dangerous situations. If something doesn’t feel right, even if you can’t put your finger on why, try to remove yourself from the situation altogether. Trust your instincts.
