The man arrested for the burglaries around the DU campus was sentenced to 60 years in prison on Thursday.

Tarius Simes, 33, received the maximum sentence for his crimes, which took place between October 2008 and September 2009 when he was arrested.

He pled guilty to charges of first-degree burglary, second-degree burglary and aggravated assault  in March.

Jim Berscheidt, associate vice chancellor of university communications said, “DU officials are grateful for the hard work and countless hours spent on the case by the Denver Police Department and our own Department of Campus Safety.”

Small electronics, such as laptops, jewelry and iPods were the items typically stolen. None of his victims were physically harmed.

Simes has a history of arrests on burglary charges in Arapahoe County.
