Apple MacBooks stolen from Newcastle school

Posted on: Wednesday, October 20, 2010 - Placer County Sheriff's Dept. A reward is being offered for information leading to arrest in a burglary from a Newcastle school  over the weekend where thieves made off with 32 brand new Apple MacBook laptop  computers.  The computers were stolen from the Harvest Ridge Cooperative Charter School sometime  between 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 16 and Monday, Oct. 18 at 6:30 a.m. The computers, still in  boxes, are described as white, 13-inch Apple MacBook laptops. They are valued at $36,000.  The suspect or suspects entered the school by breaking a window. They then went  through five classrooms before breaking a padlock to enter a secure area where the  computers were stored.   “The true victims in this case are the students who are now without their educational tools,” said  Lt. Jeff Ausnow. “Hopefully, the public can assist us in identifying the suspect or suspects and  we can return the computers to the children.”         Anyone who wishes to remain anonymous and receive up to $1,000 is urged to call Placer  County Crime Stoppers  toll-free at 800-923-8191. Operators are available 24 hours a day. If  that information leads to an arrest or arrests, a cash reward will be paid. All information  remains confidential.
