Suspect in Addison School burglaries arrested
Hiding security guard triggers chase, arrest
|
Thanks to a private security guard and help from a Mountain View police canine unit, Palo Alto police arrested a man early Tuesday morning and charged him with burglarizing Addison Elementary School, Palo Alto Police Agent Dan Ryan said.
The security guard, who works for the Palo Alto Unified School District, was "hiding out" in the school when a man broke in about 2 a.m., Ryan said.
The security guard chased the man, who got away. The Mountain View canine unit was then called in and the dog was able to track the man to where he lived two blocks away on Webster Street, Ryan said.
Cameron Ragland, 18, was arrested and charged with burglary.
Addison Elementary School has been burglarized five times since October, Ryan said.
A search warrant later executed at Ragland's home recovered some property that may have been taken from the school. "We believe it will tie him to previous burglaries," Ryan said.-- Don Kazak

Why are you interested? A little Post Traumatic Street Justice (PTSJ) perhaps?

Posted by Webster&Forest, a resident of the Downtown North neighborhood, on Jan 28, 2009 at 12:00 pm Kudos to the unnamed security patrol guard for a job well done and to the PAPD for the excellent follow-up! If the suspect is indeed found to be the perpetrator, I'm thankful that he was caught before cleaning-out the school and escalating to neighborhood home robberies.

You must have missed that day at school where they teach common sense. They found evidence at his home. And if you live right across the street and saw something, then maybe you should speak up.
