Northampton Community College Issues Security Alert

At 1:37 p.m. today, Dec. 8, (NCC) sent out an emergency text message telling all students, faculty and staff to "Please read your NCC e-mail for an important security alert."

In addition to e-mail, the alert was also described in detail on NCC's Facebook fan page:

"On Friday, December 2, a staff member using the ladies room in Communications Hall on the Main Campus (in Bethlehem Township) saw a male come into the restroom and look under the bathroom stalls. The staff member called for help and the man fled.

"Last night (Wednesday, December 7) a similar incident was reported in the Residence Hall. Video footage indicates the same individual was involved in both cases. Many parties have been shown the picture, and we are not yet able to identify the man. We do not know if he is a student or not. The police have been contacted and given the details of both incidents along with photos of the individual.

"The male in question is about 6 foot tall, medium build, African American with short cut hair and slim beard. He appears to be in his 20s.

"Please be very careful in the restrooms and report any unusual or suspicious activity immediately to Security at (610) 861-5588 or Student Affairs at (610) 861-4558."
