Winthrop House Seniors Robbed

Thieves ransacked a Winthrop House senior suite Thursday evening, and made off with approximately $850 worth of personal property.

The theft occured between 5:30-6:10 p.m., when the occupants of J-13 were at dinner. The door was unlocked while they were away.

The thieves looted all the bedrooms and carried away a KLH stereo set, an electric typewriter, a radio, and wallets. Assorted watches, jewelry, and clothing were also taken.

Fussy

"They must have been pretty fussy prowlers," Miller said, "for they only took the most valuable things in the room."

Harvard and Cambridge police were inmmediately contacted, and they conducted a search of the area which revealed nothing. No one in J-entry or the adjacent K-entry saw any suspicious persons in the building at the time of the theft.

No other rooms in the house were victimized.
