Virginia Tech police have made an arrest in a string of thefts that occurred in Pritchard Hall Feb. 2. 

Akhil Patel, a 20-year-old finance major, was arrested at his off-campus residence yesterday and charged with three counts of breaking and entering.

Lt. Deborah Morgan of the Virginia Tech Police said that the investigation was based on witness statements that led to the arrest of the suspect.

Under Virginia law, breaking and entering while the dwelling is occupied, and with the intent to commit another misdemeanor, is a class 6 felony.

You know it is a slow news day when....

He was arrested off campus by Virginia Tech police?

Am I missing something?

Also according to crime logs there has been a series of B&E in Cochrane Hall

Do people seriously leave their doors unlocked all the time?

VT Police are State Police, so sure, why couldn't they arrest him?

Virginia Tech police officers have jurisdiction and respond to incidents on the immediate campus in Blacksburg, Virginia and property owned or leased by Virginia Tech and university related corporations in the Blacksburg area. The Virginia Tech Police Department has jurisdiction on any other public or private institution of higher learning, if requested by that institution. A concurrent jurisdiction agreement was granted by the Circuit Court Judge of Montgomery County and includes the Towns of Blacksburg and Christiansburg, as well as the county of Montgomery.

So no they are not state police.

Pretty sure they are a division of the State Police. Just ask one.
