RENO, Nev. (AP) — Four men have been arrested in connection with more than 100 residential and vehicle burglaries in the Reno area over the last month.

The suspects were identified as 21-year-old Preston Heller, 23-year-old Robert Donahue, 22-year-old Jaysen Pattersen and 26-year-old Francis Edwards.

They were arrested on suspicion of varying counts of burglary, and their bail ranged from $20,000 to $82,500.
