The University of Maine Police Department arrested student Justin Carey, 21, on the morning of Oct. 24 in connection to a string of burglaries to motor vehicles parked in the Aroostook and York hall parking lots. Carey was charged with burglary to a motor vehicle and violation of conditional release. He was also charged with a felony for receiving stolen property, since the value of the stolen property exceeded $1,000.

“All the property has been recovered,” said Det. Keith Mercier.

Mercier said a long investigation, witness statements and on-campus surveillance videos contributed to Carey’s arrest. Carey was taken to Penobscot County Jail in Bangor.

According to Maine Campus archives, Carey was arrested on Sept. 17 for violation of conditional release after a fight at Kennebec Hall. Carey was not involved in the fight, but he admitted to officers that he had been drinking in violation of his release.
