RENO (AP) - Burglaries have increased significantly at the University of Nevada, Reno in the last year.

UNR police say the increase covers all manners of burglaries, but most cases involve property taken from vehicles.

University Police Chief Adam Garcia told the Nevada Board of Regents that the totals have increased by about 67 percent since 2009.

Garcia says part of the increase may come from an effort to get more students and faculty to report when there has been a burglary.

Garcia says police believe the burglaries are being committed by people outside the university community.
