A Sacramento State student and a juvenile were arrested Thursday in connection with nearly a dozen auto burglaries in the parking lots behind the Library last week.

A male juvenile, whose name was not released because of his age, was arrested and taken into custody Thursday morning for auto burglary and possession of stolen property.

Officers searched his car and found one stolen stereo and a CD case, said John Hamrick, public information officer for Campus Police. They connected the suspect to six auto burglaries, and gathered enough information to make a second arrest.

“Our officers then arrested a 19-year-old adult who gave us two stolen stereos that were taken in a previous burglary,” Hamrick said.

John Ly, who was arrested Thursday afternoon, is a transfer student to Sac State, according to Student Affairs.

The two suspects were not connected to those arrested for burglarizing cars in the Residence Hall Parking Lot earlier this semester, Hamrick said.
