Five weeks have passed since College Station police announced a stranger entering homes on Harvey Mitchell and Holleman South.
No new sightings have been reported, but Lt. Craig Anderson has asked to rebroadcast the announcement now that new and returning college students are back in town.
The stranger stays inside until they are seen by residents, which had led to some victims telling detectives they have felt violated.
Anderson reminds everyone to lock doors and windows, remain observant of your surroundings, and report anything that looks out of the ordinary.
