3 buildings on campus vandalized over weekend

\nSmashed windows were discovered on three separate buildings across campus Friday.\nSomeone threw rocks at Willkie Quad, breaking five windows at the south entrance and causing about $3,000 worth of damage, according to police reports. IUPD was called at 8 a.m. to investigate. Evidence suggests the windows were broken between 1 a.m. and 7 a.m., according to Sgt. Craig Munroe. \nSecurity cameras on the south side of the building offered few clues, Munroe said. There are currently no suspects. \nA 10-foot-long wooden traffic barricade was thrown through a window in the Poplars building at 400 E. Seventh St. The barricade went through a 4-foot by 10-foot pane of high strength glass on the northwest corner of the building, where the human resources department is located, according to Munroe. The vandalism occurred sometime between 5 p.m. Thursday and 9 a.m. Friday, according to the complainant quoted in the police report. Damages are estimated to be worth $1,000. The police have no suspects. \nSometime Thursday night, someone broke a window of the History Department's Graduate Center on 712 E. Eighth St. It is unknown what method was used to break the window, Munroe said. There was no evidence the perpetrator tried to enter the building, and no items were reported missing, Munroe said. The damage has not been estimated, and there are no suspects. \nIUPD is currently investigating these cases, said Munroe. He speculated that some of these incidents were caused by drunk individuals wandering home from the bars Thursday night.
