Police say high-density areas have potential for more theft
By Scott J. Anderson
Kansan staff writer
Students living in highly populated areas should take precautions to ensure their safety and their belongings.
Just ask members of the Delta Upsilon Fraternity, 1025 Emery Road.
Just ask members of the Devil Upson Fraternity, 1025 Emery Road. Ten bicycles were taken from the fraternity house's basement during the Labor Day weekend, when many of the residents were gone.
Lawrence police have reported seven other incidents in the 1000 block of Emery Road this semester, ranging from minor property damage to car stereos being taken from parking lots.
Sgt. Mark Warren of the Lawrence police department said the amount of reports was not unusual considering the population of the area.
"When you have an area with a large amount of automobiles and a large amount of people who do not know each other, you have the potential for these kinds of problems," Warren said.
Any area with high-density housing, such as greeks houses and apartment buildings, are susceptible to this kind of criminal activity. Warren said.
Police are patrolling with bicycles and motorcycles in the area parking lots. Warren said. Police are also trying to educate people moving into these environments about securing their property and reporting suspicious activity.
"When there are a lot of new people moving into an area, people don't realize who belongs." Warren said. "They need to get to know their neighbors at least well to know what kind of car they drive."
Warren said thefts increased when students left for holidays and semester breaks.
"It's well known by the criminal element in town when these areas will be vacant," he said. "People need to be sure someone is watching their houses."
Kipp Vann, president of Delta Upsilon, said fraternity members made sure new members were aware of the potential for such problems.
"The same situation happens every year," the Austin, Texas, senior said. "It's just unfortunate that they took the bikes this year."
Vann said fraternity members were encouraged to keep their doors locked whenever they leave the house. The house mother and alumni see that the house is secure when the residents leave for extended periods of time.
Gates guard store against thieves
By Brian James

The three Dillons food stores in Lawrence want to make sure customers do not walk out without paying for groceries.
So last week Dillons installed security gates in all of their check-out lines in the store at 1740 Massachusetts st. Surveillance cameras also were added in the two other stores, 3000 W. Sixth St. and 1015 W. 23rd St.
The 5-foot-high, gates are new to grocery store chains in Lawrence, said Larry Bulla, security supervisor for Dillons stores.
An alarm sounds whenever a product that has not been scanned by the cashier passes through the gate.
"It will assure us that inventory levels are properly being maintained," he said. "If an item passes through the gate
without being checked out, we will know it."
He said the gates' effectiveness would be measured against the camera's effectiveness in preventing shoplifting
Those results will determine whether all of the stores use camera surveillance or the gate system, Bulla said.
Donald Schick, night manager at Checkers Foods, 2300 Louisiana St., said shoplifting was a problem for all Lawrence grocery stores.
All three Dillons stores in Lawrence have security guards on duty in addition to the new security systems.
Checkers has undercover security workers watching for shoplifters, he said.
stimpaity, it said,
"This new system at Dillons might be slick, but a fella is still going to find one way or another to get something out of the store." Schick said.
