Update to Timely Warning – Burglary

On 3/29/2026 at approximately 6:44 PM, the UC San Diego Police Department received a report of a burglary at the Warren Apartments. Officers responded promptly, and the suspect fled the area on foot and was last seen in the wooded area north of Voigt and Justice Lane.

At this time, the suspect has not been located. Officers are actively searching the surrounding area and maintaining an increased presence in that area as a precaution.

Out of an abundance of caution, community members are advised to avoid the wooded canyon area between Voigt Drive and Genesee Avenue while officers continue their search. There is no indication of an ongoing threat to the campus community; however, we encourage everyone to remain aware of their surroundings.

If you see the suspect, observe suspicious behavior, or have information that may assist, please contact the UC San Diego Police Department immediately at (858) 534-HELP (4357) or call 911 in an emergency.

Suspect Description:

Male, approximately 50 years old
Last seen wearing a blue UCSD sweater and blue jeans.

This case remains under active investigation. Updates will be provided as appropriate.

If you are the victim of a burglary or you discover someone inside your residence:

If possible, immediately leave your residence and go to a safe area (e.g., a neighbor’s apartment or a public place).
Call or text the UC San Diego Police Department at 9-1-1.
If you are unable to leave your residence, secure yourself and family members in a safe location, turn on all available lights, and call the police immediately.

To help reduce the risk of being the victim of a burglary:

Make sure doors and windows are closed and locked. When it is hot out, use a lock or item which only allows the window to open small distances.
If you live on campus and your windows or doors won’t lock, please call Housing Maintenance at (858) 534-2600.
If your office windows or doors will not lock, please contact Facilities Management Customer Relations help desk, phone (858) 534-2930.
Be aware of your surroundings. If you see suspicious activity, call or text the UC San Diego Police Department immediately at 9-1-1.
Know the location of campus emergency telephones on routes to and from campus destinations.
Avoid displaying and/or placing high value items close to windows. Items such as computers, cell phones, wallets, and purses can be easily grabbed from open windows and may be incentives for criminals to try and enter the residence. Secure your valuables at all times.
Be alert and aware. Pay full attention to who is around when you leave and return to your residence or office. If returning at night, leave a light on inside as a visual deterrent.
