Apartment Burglaries Under Investigation

TYLER — Over the Thanksgiving break, Tyler Police say there were multiple burglaries at Cambridge Apartments. KETK reports that Cambridge Apartments, across from UT Tyler, are independently owned, but many college students live there. Authorities say they’ve had at least five burglaries and a robbery under investigation. Don Martin with the Tyler PD says, “Apparently the suspects went under the assumption that a lot of tenants went home on Thanksgiving holiday, so they forced their way in when no one was home.” The apartment manager, who spent her day trying to calm worries from students and parents, says there were security guards on duty during the break, but it was only at night. Some tenants say they’re ready to break their lease. Tyler police believe all of the burglaries are related, and they say the suspects could be facing a felony charge.
