I'm pretty sure I said I wouldn't be surprised, but I'm a LL to students ONLY in NB, where would you like me to start?
Most recently a man (not a student) knocked on the door of one of my properties "looking" for someone who he said had just moved out. This property sits directly across the street from a group of dorms. The kids in both units had been there for 2 years. No one of that name was a recent tenant. 2nd floor tenant who had opened the main door and had the conversation with this man went to class. 10 minutes later his girlfriend called him to tell him that someone had broken in to the apartment. Kicked in the front door, made his way up to the second floor, kicked in the door to that apartment. Tenant's girlfriend screamed and the guy ran. She was lucky.
The majority of our employees are RU students. One was riding his bike home from an evening class and got shot in the leg by the Ale N Witch from a scuffle going on between a man and a woman (not students, but NB residents).
Another employee of our was mugged and beat up walking home from visiting friends who lived on Louis St. Not by students.
A few summers ago I was driving through NB to get to Stage Left, I was hosting a small party there in a few weeks. Traffic was backed up and I was in my car waiting for it to move when to my right I saw a group of women, dressed very nicely, standing outside a restaurant. A man dressed in a tank top who was obviously not a part of the group was also very obviously annoying this group of women and one woman said something back to him. She turned her back to him and the group of women started to walk away but this guy grabbed that one woman's arm and punched her in the head a few times. Yes I called the cops, but by the time I had gotten through, the cops were speeding past me in the opposite lane.
This past summer we renovated the units in one of our properties. Also directly across the street from the dorms, but not the same one I mentioned above. I went to check on the progress one late afternoon and I noticed a guy walking up and down the block. I left to go check on another property, the one mentioned above, and during the drive which was an entire two blocks down and half a block up I saw 3 girls/women spread out, looking up and down the block. No back-packs, no bags, obviously not students. They looked like they hadn't showered for weeks, had shorts on they never should have, and half shirts. On my way back, the guy was walking with one of them, on his cell phone, and pointing one other that was a little farther away. When I finally left, after warning the contractors to lock up and take their tools home with them, I drove around a few blocks looking for this guy/girls. I saw him outside the school on a pay phone, and one of the girls was getting in to a car. Doesn't take a genius.
The rapes and break-ins that happened a few years back - and in the College Ave area of off-campus houses, were not done by students.
We have clientele who live around Throop and Commercial - they tell us how active the gangs are, and apparently the latin gang has grown substantially in the past few years.
Part of my town boarders NB. When I read about a shooting/drug deal/gun deal etc., having "gone down" in that end of town, guess where the ones who were caught are from 99% of the time?
