A crack in the case of the thefts at the Student Recreation Center led University Police to an arrest over Spring Break.

Christopher Dyer, 25, of 1 Pheasant Run was arrested Friday afternoon at the University Police station after investigators following a lead uncovered his name as a suspect. Dyer later was brought in to the UP station for an interview.

Sgt. Albert Ekstrom could not comment on whether Dyer confessed, but said the suspect was charged following the interview. He was charged with theft and then released on an I-bond. Ekstrom said that leads still are being pursued by investigators and officers are trying to determine if others were involved.

Nine thefts occurred in a span of a week from the Rec at the end of January. Personal items were taken from unlocked lockers in the men’s locker room. This is the first arrest that has been made in the case.

If anyone has information regarding the burglaries, they may call University Police at 753-1212.
