Georgetown University Police Department, in coordination with Metropolitan Police Department, arrested a suspect Tuesday for three burglaries committed in Henle Village.

Two of the burglaries occurred Monday, followed by another incident on Tuesday. All three incidents featured residences with unlocked doors, allowing Antoine Gibson, a 36-year-old male not affiliated with the university, to enter freely and steal multiple laptops. Gibson was arrested Tuesday after he entered an apartment and encountered a student resident. The student contacted GUPD, who established a perimeter and detained Gibson at the corner of 33rd and O streets.

“Obviously, he found a good opportunity here with opened doors at Henle: He came back three times. He got greedy and got caught the third time, but he knew they weren’t locking their doors,” Chief of Police Jay Gruber said.

Gibson also encountered a student in one of the apartments Monday, prompting the university to issue a Public Safety Alert with his description. While he was arrested for the Tuesday burglary, Gibson will be indicted for the other two incidents as well.

Gruber noted the unlocked doors as enabling crime, urging students to take care with their possessions.

“A simple locking the door would prevent 90 percent of our burglaries. We have very few burglaries where somebody actually kicks something in or breaks a window or something like that. It’s all because of unlocked and unsecured doors,” he said.

Pointing to the recent capture of a bike thief using Lauinger Library cameras and the arrest of a voyeur in the women’s bathroom at Epicurean and Company, Gruber said that GUPD’s response when notified of crime has recently been effective but explained that students must call the department immediately after noticing crimes.

“As soon as students recognize that something is suspicious, that something seems out of place or out of the ordinary, they need to call us immediately. The faster we get notified, the better chance we have of making an arrest,” Gruber said.
