The break-in was con­firmed by a school se­cu­ri­ty of­fi­cer when she car­ried checks at the school on Mon­day morn­ing.

Af­ter of­fi­cers viewed CCTV footage and con­duct­ed in­ves­ti­ga­tions, they re­ceived in­for­ma­tion and went to the San­ta Rosa RC Ceme­tery, where they found the sus­pect with the stolen items.

The sus­pect sought to es­cape the of­fi­cers by run­ning through the ceme­tery but fell on one of the tombs and was held.
