SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Police caught a 15-year-old boy suspected of breaking into Waldo Middle School in Salem, causing damage and stealing electronics.
Officers responded to a report of the sound of breaking glass about 7 p.m. Sunday at the school and a witness reported seeing two people run away.
Officers found the 15-year-old in the neighborhood. They also found a stolen laptop computer and three projectors hidden in some bushes.
Inside the school, police found broken windows and smashed blinds and equipment in five classrooms. Damage is more than $5,000.
The 15-year-old was booked in the Marion County Juvenile Facility on burglary charges. A search of the area with a police dog did not find the other suspect.
