Update: Burglars Victimize School Again
For the second time in four months, Apple computers are stolen from Indian Valley Elementary.
Update: 9:30 a.m. Wednesday. Information from WCPD
For the second time in half a school year, burglars have stolen computers from the children of Indian Valley Elementary on Marshall Drive.
Sometime after 9 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 19, someone pried the door to Classroom 6 open and stole six Apple, IMac computers, according to a Walnut Creek police report.
"I have strong suspicions that the same person(s) is responsible for both burglaries," wrote Walnut Creek Police Sgt. Jay Hill in an email. "The MO is similar and the items targeted are the same. Unfortunately, there are no leads at this time. The school does not have surveillance cameras, there are no witnesses and no evidence that could help identify anyone."

On Labor Day, six new Apple computers were stolen from Indian Valley Elementary School by burglars who apparently used a massive crowbar to break locks, school officials said. The burglars were selective, not taking other older computers and cameras. On the same night, there was a burglary at Valle Verde Elementary on Peachwillow Lane.
