Hit-and-run leads to brief chase, ruined student car

I couldn't believe that someone would wreck a parked car and just drive away, especially on a busy street like Webster. The article quoted two students saying they and their friends ran outside when they heard the crash. The witnesses called 911 took down car's license plate information. It is still unclear who committed the hit-and-run, but is good to hear Lehigh students are looking out for one another.
It will be interesting to see if the next issue of the Brown and White reveals if the police found the suspect. This case is just one of the many crime stories that have appeared in the B&W lately. Do you think we need more police supervision off campus?

  1. It's not a bad idea to have more police supervision off campus. It seems like a lot of crimes happen either off campus or in an area within the university that is closer towards outside of campus. I know that I would feel safer if I'm aware of the numerous policemen stationed at different parts of town.

  2. I agree...I feel like I would be a lot more comfortable walking around if I knew certain streets would be monitored a little bit closer. Obviously, it's not smart to be wandering alone whether there is police around or not, so everyone still needs to watch themselves, but sometimes even with a friend it could be a little intimidating.
