6 Arrested as Suspects in 34 School Burglaries
Sheriff’s deputies and Los Angeles Unified School District police have arrested six Carson men suspected of committing as many as 34 burglaries at a dozen school campuses since early October, authorities said Tuesday.
The suspects were arrested last week and charged with burglary and receiving stolen property, after detectives served search warrants at several locations throughout Carson, said Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Sgt. Richard Davidson.
Authorities said they have recovered about a third of the missing $30,000 worth of computers, televisions, video cassette recorders and other equipment.
Among those booked on the felony charges were William Yohe, 21; Leifitoto Faatiliga, 32; Christopher Gonsalves, 20; Daniel Faneuf, 33, and Punaofo Tilei, 33. The name of the sixth suspect was not available.
