The complex, near Merrimack College, has seen recent break-ins. An image was captured Monday morning by a camera students set up of the possible suspect pulling at a door, 7News reported.

“I don’t know what his intentions are, but it’s weird and I don’t like it,” Heather Gagliard, a junior at Merrimack who said she and her roommates purchased the security camera to protect themselves, told the news station. “I never really expected that to even happen to my room. We all got the Ring camera to make sure we could be safe, but I never really expected that that would happen.”
