Electronics stolen from schools recovered

SAN MARCOS — Computers, video game systems and other items stolen from two San Marcos high schools were seized along with shotguns and drugs when four men were arrested Tuesday, sheriff’s officials said Wednesday.

More than 50 items believed taken from Mission Hills and Twin Oaks high schools in the past two weeks were recovered when detectives served a warrant at a duplex home on Charlotte Drive, near Cariann Drive.

Nine people at the house were detained, but four were arrested. Twin brothers Rene and Ricardo Puente Ramirez, 26, Andrew David Farace, 27, and Daniel James Barrett, 26, were booked on suspicion of possessing stolen goods, two shotguns, seven marijuana plants and a pound of marijuana packaged for sales, sheriff’s Sgt. Daniel Deese said.

Deese said burglars broke into Mission Hills High two weeks ago and at Twin Oaks High a week ago, taking electronics items including video games, flat screen TVs and DJ equipment. Twin Oaks was hit again Friday, when 14 computers were taken from the computer lab.

Deputy John Delocht, school resource officer, learned where some of the property might be found and detectives got a search warrant, Deese said. He said detectives are hoping to track down the rest of the stolen goods not found at the house.
