Police investigation continues
CU Police Department officers have made an arrest in connection with a recent series of break-ins at the CU Book Store.
Freshman business major Brandon Michael Reuter, 18, was arrested on March 4 and charged with three counts of burglary and one count of theft over $22,000, according to a CUPD press release.
Officials from the Boulder County Jail said Reuter was booked into the jail at 6:50 p.m. Tuesday and released at 3:28 p.m. Wednesday.
“We’re still working on it,” CUPD Cmdr. Brad Wiesley said of the investigation. “At this point, he’s the only person we’ve arrested.”
The Book Store was first broken into on Feb. 29 around 3 a.m. The thief allegedly stole nearly 80 iPods. Two more break-ins occurred on the morning of March 4 at 3:30 a.m. and 5 a.m. The thief allegedly took laptops and digital cameras.
CUPD detectives were able to retrieve a “majority” of the stolen electronics, according to the press release.
Reuter is due to be formally charged on March 13.
