ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) \u2014 Some students and parents are concerned over alleged car break-ins at Clark Atlanta University in the last several months. <\/p>\n
A parent emailed Atlanta News First his concerns after he said his child was a victim. Many students on the campus then said they heard about car break-ins and claim these incidents started in October, with the most recent car break-in happening during move-in. <\/p>\n
\u201cI personally haven\u2019t been a victim, but I can feel because if that was me, I\u2019d be very upset,\u201d Destini Jackson, a student, said. <\/p>\n
The parent who emailed Atlanta News First said students have to pay to park in the deck and therefore, they expect a safe parking environment. <\/p>\n
Atlanta News First obtained a copy of an email from the University police chief acknowledging break-ins at the parking deck and at the Beckwith Village lot in October. According to the email, campus police launched a \u201cclean car campaign,\u201d and said they were placing a patrol unit exclusively at the parking area, as well as increasing lighting. <\/p>\n
But Jackson said it still makes her hesitant to park there. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt kind of does. I\u2019ve been debating,\u201d she said. \u201cBut I hope with more presence it does get better because I do want to park in there, but I definitely have kind of changed my mind a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n
A university spokesperson told Atlanta News First they are working on a response. <\/p>\n
