Victim(s)
Female, age 20, MadisonDetails
A downtown resident was sitting in her living room talking with her roommates inside their second floor W. Gilman St. apartment Monday night when she saw a hand reach over her outside balcony railing. The 20-year old looked out and could see two men: one trying to get to her balcony by scaling a 25-foot wall, and acting as a likely lookout, down below. She yelled at them, saying she was calling police, and they fled. An officer noted some type of pipe system, on the outside of the building, had given the stranger a foothold from which to stand and reach for the balcony. The officer provided the tenants with safety tips and advised that they should have called police immediately, as a timely response makes it much more likely that suspects might be caught. In this case the victims waited about a 1/2 hour to summon the MPD.Released 07/19/2012 at 12:42 PM by PIO Joel DeSpain
