Police at TCU are asking for the public’s help in finding two men they say recently tried to break into an off-campus student apartment, with one carrying a gun, according to a social media post on Monday.

The attempted break-in happened in the 3100 block of Sandage Avenue, almost two miles south of campus, according to police. The men tried to open a back door around 4 a.m., though police did not specify what day the attempted break-in happened.

The social media post comes less than three weeks after TCU police warned of a night prowler in neighborhoods south of campus. According to a separate social media post, no crimes were committed in the earlier incidents but police wanted students to call 911 if they saw anything suspicious.

Anybody with information on the attempted burglary or who recognizes the man in the image shared by police is asked to contact TCU police at 817-257-7777.

A TCU spokesperson did not immediately respond to a Star-Telegram request for more information.
