Auburn student Jacob K. Greer, 20, was arrested by Auburn police June 26 on multiple charges.
Greer was questioned on East University drive Sunday regarding a recent residential burglary complaint.
After investigation, it was determined Greer had connections to other business and auto thefts.
"After he was arrested, it was discovered that he was a part of those burglaries," Auburn Police Capt. Tom Stouffer said. "It is our understanding he is a student."
Greer has been charged with three counts of third-degree burglary and second-degree theft of property.
These come from an investigation of burglaries in the 400 block of North Dean Road over several months.
He was found in possession of an undisclosed amount of prescription drugs and is further charged with one drug-trafficking offense and three counts of unlawful possession of a controlled substance.
In connection with an automobile burglary, he is charged with unlawful breaking and entering a motor vehicle and second-degree theft of property.
Following his arrest, Greer was taken to the Lee County Detention Center, and he is being held on $63,000 bond.
Other charges could come to light as the investigation is still ongoing.
The case will now be turned over to the district attorney.
