On Saturday morning at around 3 a.m., there was a burglary at Poly Canyon Village— an apartment complex on the Cal Poly campus.
According to a letter sent to students from the Cal Poly Civil Rights & Compliance office, the victim of the burglary woke up to someone holding their hands over the victim's face.
Officials say that a struggle ensued and that the suspect then fled through the front door.
Law enforcement is asking the public's help to identify the subject, who they describe as a young adult Asian male with neck-length hair, a grey sweatshirt, and khaki pants.
Following the incident, Cal Poly officials recommend that students always keep doors and windows locked, refrain from letting others follow them into a housing complex, and travel in pairs or groups when possible.
The university also recommends that students use "Rave Guardian"— a safety app that gives students access to on-campus resources and more information.
