Criminals at the University of Kansas mostly took a vacation over Spring Break (March 20-24), so the KU Crime Blotter did, too. This post includes the two crimes reported that week.

The following incidents were reported to the KU Office of Public Safety between Monday, March 20, and Sunday, April 2. Incidents are listed by date reported. This list may not include all crimes reported to police during the date range, as incidents occasionally are posted online longer than two days after being reported.
