CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) - Chattanooga Police have arrested a man they suspect of stealing 22 new laptop computers from Howard High School.

In a news release, police said they arrested a Parks and Recreation employee, 52-year old Michael Douglas, on a tip. Investigators found 2 of the stolen laptops at Douglas' home. They have recovered 5 of the computers in all.

The computers were stolen on Jan. 6 after someone entered the school through an unlocked window and then smashed another window into the principal's office. The laptops were still in their boxes and valued at $1,500 each.

Douglas was booked late Wednesday on an outstanding warrant for theft over $1,000.
