BRIGHTON - Police are warning Boston College students to lock their windows and doors after increased reports of attempted break-ins at off-campus housing.

"There was a guy right there trying to sneak into their house," neighbor Isabel Sullivan told WBZ-TV.

Home surveillance cameras captured a person peering into the windows of an off-campus apartment building not once, but twice this month. On Monday, a person was seen trying to open the back door while the female students were home. The bright lights and Ring security system weren't enough to deter them. In a third video, a person was seen looking directly at the camera before continuing around the home.
