The University of Wisconsin Police Department made an arrest connected to a string of thefts on campus.

According to an incident report, UWPD received more than a dozen reports of theft at the Shell since the beginning of the fall semester. Many of the cases reported suspects gaining access to the Shell by asking a random student to “sponsor” them as they were entering the building. Upon entry, the suspects would steal things such as cash, cell phones, laptops and other valuables.
