MORGANTOWN — West Virginia University Police issued a campus warning after a reported burglary at a university-owned building at 633 North Spruce Street.
Around 9 a.m. Tuesday, a cleaning crew discovered three unauthorized individuals inside the building. The suspects—a woman and two men—fled before officers arrived. No arrests have been made.
