SAN BRUNO, Calif.—Police say are searching for thieves who took at least $40,000 worth of computers from a San Mateo County school.
The Oakland Tribune ( http://bit.ly/129YEX6) reports 18 MacBook Pro computers were stolen late Thursday from El Crystal Elementary School in San Bruno.
Principal Skip Johnson tells the newspaper one of the thieves apparently suffered a cut during the break in and left behind a blood sample. The blood could help detectives track down a suspect if that person had prior convictions that led to submission of a DNA sample to authorities.
Johnson tells the Tribune he suspects the thieves had some familiarity with the school's operations because they concentrated on the computers. Nothing else appears to have been taken.
Police haven't said if they have any suspects.
