A man has been arrested in a series of break-ins and attempted break-ins at an apartment complex where many Merrimack College students live in North Andover, Massachusetts, police said Tuesday.
North Andover police had shared video of the suspected trespasser involved in several incidents at the Royal Crest Estates early Monday morning.
Adam Auditore, a 26-year-old from Medford, faces two counts of attempted breaking and entering and one of trespassing after his arrest Tuesday, police said. They anticipate further charges against Auditore as well.
It wasn't immediately clear if he had an attorney who could speak to his arrest. He will be in court Wednesday, police said.

Students who spoke with NBC10 Boston said they were feeling unsafe, so they installed Ring doorbells outside their apartments. Surveillance footage shows a man lurking in the complex early Monday morning, even trying to open a door.
"All of us have definitely been on edge about it its very scary and concerning," Leigha Draper, who lives in the building, said.
"We had one of our dads sleep on the couch last night because we were freaked out," said Emma Margossian, another resident.
Because the building houses a lot of students, Merrimack College was assisting with the investigation.
