Students who spoke with NBC10 Boston said they were feeling unsafe, so they installed Ring doorbells outside their apartments. Surveillance footage shows a man lurking in the complex early Monday morning, even trying to open a door.
"All of us have definitely been on edge about it its very scary and concerning," Leigha Draper, who lives in the building, said.
"We had one of our dads sleep on the couch last night because we were freaked out," said Emma Margossian, another resident.
Because the building houses a lot of students, Merrimack College was assisting with the investigation.
