Duardte called HUPD and raced outside in pursuit.
"He was really excited," said Farago, who waited inside while the arrest happened.
HUPD's normally quick response time was even faster as extra HUPD units were in the Yard for a scheduled rally sponsored by the Living Wage Campaign.
Five units responded from around the Yard, including two officers working in Matthews.
HUPD officer Anthony Carvellos arrested Stuckey outside of Weld Hall without incident.
"He knew that we knew who he was, and that he was caught," McNamara said.
Stuckey, a 5-foot 10-inch, 160 pound, light-skinned black male with a shaved head, fit the description of the burglar that police have been seeking for weeks now. Stuckey gave police an address in Long Beach, Calif., but McNamara said she believes he may have been living in the Cambridge area for some time.
"This was an excellent arrest, and a good team effort between the officers and the security guards," she said.
