Ann Arbor, MI – A series of prowler incidents near student housing has prompted increased police patrols in Ann Arbor after a resident reported a man peering into a home early Sunday morning.
According to the Ann Arbor Police Department, the most recent incident occurred around 1:30 a.m. on the 500 block of E. Kingsley, when a resident allegedly saw a man looking into a residence before fleeing on foot. This report is one of several involving prowlers in neighborhoods surrounding the University of Michigan.
Additional locations include the 1100 block of White Street, 900 block of Dewey Avenue, and 200 block of Thayer Street. Police said they have not yet obtained surveillance footage of the suspects, and detailed descriptions are still being developed. Investigators confirmed that this remains an active and ongoing investigation.
Police are urging residents to take precautions, including closing blinds and curtains at night, using motion-sensor lighting, installing doorbell cameras, and trimming landscaping near windows to reduce hiding spots. Officers have reportedly increased their patrols in the student housing area.
Residents who witness suspicious activity, particularly “window peepers,” are encouraged to contact 911 immediately. Anyone with surveillance footage or information related to the incidents is asked to contact the Ann Arbor Police Department at 734-794-6920 or email tips@a2gov.org.
