Not more than an hour following the original call to Antioch dispatch, a security person on campus had reported seeing a female in the area that appeared to have much of the property stolen from the school.

Antioch Police officers arrived at E18th and Wisner and contacted the 38-year-old Antioch resident and found her to be in possession of approximately $5,000 worth of stolen laptops, Apple products and other items stolen from the school.

Surveillance video was reviewed and led to the suspect being arrested for burglary, and all of the stolen property was returned to the school–including Halloween candy.

The female, who was not identified, was arrested and taken to jail in Martinez.

No other information was provided.
