The Florence Court apartments at University and 10th avenues southeast had a total of five break-ins and attempted break-ins late last month.
An increase in break-ins is common during long holidays from classes, police say, because students are gone and criminals are aware of that.
Police officials have since evaluated the apartments and the property’s owner has made lighting improvements, said Nick Juarez, the crime prevention specialist for the 2nd Precinct.
