Officers of the Pasadena Police Department arrested two 17-year-olds at John Muir High School Tuesday afternoon when the youths were found with items linked to an Altadena burglary.
According to the Altadena Sheriff's Station, officers were investigating a report of marijuana possession on or near the campus of John Muir High School. During the course of the investigation, officers discovered the suspects in possession of an iPad and iPhone, along with women's jewelry. It was discovered that the items had come from a residence on the 3200 block of Thurin Avenue in Altadena, which had not yet reported a burglary.
The 59-year-old victim was contacted, and confirmed that her home had been burglarized. She was transported to the school where she identified the stolen items and the two suspects, whom she'd seen loitering around her home before the burglary occured.
Both suspects were taken into custody by Altadena deputies and were booked for residential burglary. They were eventually released to famly members, according to the sheriff's station. Both are scheduled to be arraigned in January.
