SALT LAKE CITY — The University of Utah Campus Store has been burglarized three times in the last month, and officials are asking for the public's help in locating the thief.

Univeristy of Utah Police Sgt. Mike Richards said the store was burglarized March 21 at 2 a.m., April 7 at 1 a.m., and April 13 at 1 a.m. University of Utah police are investigating the incidents, and they believe the burglaries were committed by the same person.

Video surveillance showed the man walking quickly through the store grabbing items off shelves. Richards said that electronics were the main target of the thefts. Several packaged iPods, display iPads and iPad minis and display laptops were stolen during the burglary, according to University of Utah Campus Store director Shane Girton.

The man was described as being around 5 feet 10 inches with dark hair and was seen leaving the scene on a bicycle.

Richards said the electronics from the store totaled around $7,000.

A $1,000 reward is being offered to anyone with information leading to the arrest and conviction of the thief. Anyone with information about the thefts can contact University of Utah police at 801-585-2677.
