Clery Act Report: NIU sees spike in burglaries

DeKALB – Northern Illinois University saw an increase in burglaries and judicial referrals for drug law violations between 2010 and 2011, according to the university’s 2012 Clery Act Report.

In 2010, NIU reported 12 on-campus burglaries. In 2011, there were 26 reports of burglary – a 116 percent increase from the previous year.

NIU spokesman Brad Hoey speculated the increase came from a spike in vehicle break-ins DeKalb was experiencing in fall 2011.
