SAN ANTONIO — A new crime alert was issued by UTSA police after a hidden camera was found in an apartment near the campus this week.

Police said Thursday, a resident of University Oaks discovered the camera inside a fake smoke detector. UTSA police are now working with the FBI to track down where the device came from and who put it there.

University Oaks is managed by a third party, Campus Living Villages, whose staff has started checking other smoke detector units for hidden cameras. In the meantime, checks are also underway at other UTSA-owned properties.

If you have a concern about a detector in your room, please call UTSA campus police at 210-458-4242.
