Two mopeds valued between $1,500 and $20,000 were stolen from University Parks Apartments last week at 2201 S. University Parks Drive. According to the Baylor Fire and Crime log, both cases are still active.

The first moped was reported stolen to Baylor Police Department April 15, and the second on the following day. At the time of publication, the department was not available for comment.

Nashville, Tenn., senior Brette Moseley is a tenant at University Parks and said she wasn’t aware of the robberies.

“It definitely sucks they got their property stolen,” Moseley said. “What bothers me though is that we weren’t told as residents. I would have liked to have known to keep myself safe.”

Moseley said the apartments advertise themselves as a gated community, despite the front gates not working.

“The front gates are always left open, and that’s something I’d like to see changed,” Moseley said.

University Parks Apartments management could not be reached for comment.
