Students found with stolen electronics

March 24, 2009

Two Maine East High School students were arrested by Park Ridge police after they were found with items that had allegedly been taken from the school.

A 15-year-old Park Ridge boy was charged with theft after his father discovered his son had a laptop computer that did not belong to him, said police Cmdr. Lou Jogmen.

On March 4, the father returned the laptop to Maine East's dean of students, and it was determined that the computer had been stolen from the band room of the school, located at 2601 W. Dempster St., Jogmen said.

When questioned, the teen admitted taking the $1,000 computer, police said. He was placed under arrest on March 19.

A 14-year-old girl from unincorporated Maine Township was charged with possession of stolen property on March 18 following an investigation of a classmate's missing iPod.

Jogmen said an iPod, cell phone and wallet were stolen from another student's book bag between March 3 and 6, and detectives were able to determine that the 14-year-old girl had been in possession of the $350 iPod after it was taken. However, when police went to arrest the teen, the device could not be located.

Both teens were released to their parents and are scheduled to appear before the Park Ridge Peer Jury on April 2.
