Campus crime alerts are for all students, faculty and staff so that they are aware of a particular crime or crimes that are occurring on campus or in the area surrounding the campus.
The Wichita Falls Police Department is investigating two incidents that occurred over the past weekend at Mustang Village Apartments, 5005 Lake Park Drive, Wichita Falls, Texas.

The suspect was apparently alerted to her presence when she fled the apartment, and entry was not gained.

There is currently no suspect information available.
MSU PD is urging all students, faculty and staff that may reside at Mustang Village to be aware of any suspicious subjects on or near the property. We all must be vigilant and take responsibility for personal safety. All individuals are urged to practice the following:

Midwestern State University Timely Warning
October 12, 2015 @ 9:13 PM
An MSU student reported that on Monday, October 12, 2015, at approximately 1530 hours, he was robbed by three suspects. The victim was walking on Taft Boulevard near MSU's Moffett Library when the suspects drove alongside him in a dark blue SUV and asked if the student was walking to Colony Park Apartments or Mustang Village. The victim stated he was going to Colony Park Apartments, and the driver told the victim to get in the vehicle. As the victim was entering the vehicle, the driver pulled a "wolf mask" over his face.Suddenly the victim's seat reclined as another suspect covered the victim's eyes with his hand and pulled him toward the back seat. The victim believes that one of the suspects pressed a handgun to his back; however he never saw the weapon. The victim pleaded with the suspects and told them that he had money. The suspects removed a wallet containing $1,050 USD from the victim's backpack. The suspects then dropped the victim off near the laundry facility at Colony Park Apartments. The only description of the suspects was the driver, being a white male, having a black long sleeve shirt and tan shorts. He also had short black hair and was clean shaven but had sideburns. The other two suspects were described only as having southern accents.
Until further information is obtained, the MSU PD is urging all students, faculty, staff and visitors to be aware of any suspicious subjects on or near the MSU campus. We all must be vigilant in taking responsibility for personal safety. All individuals are urged to practice the following:
If you have any information regarding this crime or any other crime, call 911 in an emergency, or contact the MSU Police Department non-emergency line at 940-397-4239.
