Police say a second person was involved in some of the thefts from dorm rooms on DePaul University’s Lincoln Park campus in March.
As we previously reported, DePaul student Dillon Barrett-Rao, 19, is already charged with two counts of burglary and one count of theft in the cases.
Now, an 18-year-old is charged with two counts of theft after allegedly making incriminating statements during a police interview.
A Chicago police detective said he admitted to being with Barret-Rao when items were taken from two DePaul victims’ rooms, according to court filings.
The two victims reported more than $3,000 in losses from the alleged burglaries, including a MacBook, an iPad Mini, other electronics, and designer shoes.
