Clemson University police Thursday released a composite drawing of an individual who may be able to assist them in their investigation of the recent burglary at Calhoun Courts.

The man was seen in the Calhoun Courts area during the time of the burglary and detectives would like to speak with him regarding information he may have that could help them solve this case.

An XBox One Forza was stolen between 8:20 and 9:30 p.m. Tuesday while the apartment was unoccupied and unlocked. This was the fifth burglary from an unlocked apartment at Calhoun Courts since Sept. 17.

He is described as African-American, 19-20 years old, 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing 250 pounds with short dreadlocks.

If you have information about his identity, please contact police at 864-656-2222.

The Clemson University Police Department reported a burglary at an apartment at South Calhoun Courts Tuesday night. An XBox One Forza was stolen between 8:20 and 9:30 p.m. while the apartment was unoccupied. The resident stated that his door was unlocked. This is the fifth burglary from an unlocked apartment at Calhoun Courts since Sept. 17.

Police are asking all community members to assist in efforts to deter crimes of opportunity by ensuring that residential doors are locked at all times and that any suspicious activity is immediately reported to police by dialing 911 or calling 864-656-2222.

They also offer the following safety tips:

• Lock all doors and windows. Keep your doors locked even when leaving only for a few minutes and when at home.
• Interior lighting is necessary to show signs of activity inside of a residence. A darkened home or room sends the message to burglars that you are not at home.
  • If you come home to find an unexplained open/broken window or door
  • Do not enter – the perpetrator may still be inside.
  • Use a cell phone or neighbor’s phone to call police.
  • Do not touch anything or clean up until the police have inspected for evidence.
  • Write down the license plate numbers of any suspicious vehicles.
  • Note the descriptions of any suspicious persons.
• Ensure valuables are not visible from the street, especially high-end electronics.
• Mark and record serial numbers of electronics and other valuables
• If you use web sites such as Facebook or twitter, never add status updates, comments, or pictures that suggest you are not at home.

Issued in compliance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, a federal law originally known as the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990, that mandates timely notices to the campus community.

The State of South Carolina Emergency Management Division provides the following information for state employees:

Four sources of information regarding closings and delayed openings of county/state offices will be available:

1. Check South Carolina Educational Television and Radio. SCETV will broadcast a “crawl” showing the information and will announce it on SCETV radio. SCETV and SCETV radio will broadcast the information state-wide.
2. The information regarding closings and delayed openings will be posted to the SCEMD web site as quickly as it is received. Visit scemd.org/closings for updates.
3. The South Carolina Emergency Manager Mobile App. The S.C. Emergency Manager app is your personal emergency management tool that displays a complete list of all state and county government closings.
4. Check local commercial news media outlets. They typically broadcast, post on their web sites, and/or disseminate through social media any deviations from normal operations for county offices. That information applies to state agencies located in those counties.

Please do not call county emergency management offices for the information. We ask that state employees refrain from requesting this information from county emergency managers because they are typically involved in response activities during stormy weather and should not be interrupted.
