Four UW-Madison students reported a suspicious person who was lurking around their North Brooks Street residence last Wednesday.
According to a police report, four female roommates, three 19-year-olds and one 20-year-old, were eating breakfast when a man approached the sliding glass patio door of their apartment. The man told them he often walks the bike path behind their residence and has seen a man peeking into their window on several different occasions.
The man then told the women that he had reported the suspicious activity he observed to the police. However, one of the women contacted the Madison Police Department and the UW Police Department and could find no record of a report.
After discovering the inconsistency in the man's story, the women reported the incident to the MPD. The officer taking down the information told the women not to hesitate to call 911 if they see suspicious people lurking outside. The officer also recommended the women keep their blinds closed at night and in the early morning hours.
The suspicious man is described as a black male, 5'10"", 180 pounds, clean-shaven and wearing a blue flannel shirt.
