WOODS CROSS — Police here say a man who seemed familiar with Woods Cross High School stole about $2,500 worth of items after walking around the school last week as students prepared dinner for the homeless.

The man, who appears to be in his mid-20s had a light mustache and was wearing a dark hoodie and hat covering part of his face. He was also wearing gloves.

A surveillance tape shows the man pretending to look at trophies in a case in the front hallway. It then shows him picking up a backpack.

Police say he took personal items out of several backpacks, plus a laptop computer from a classroom and some cash from the office.. On Saturday he was back and took some more cash.

The school’s resource officer, James Sheldon said that the suspect could be a former student. “He’s obviously older than high school age, however, he seems to know his way around the school, where he was going.” Sheldon said.

Anyone who has information is asked to call Sheldon at the school, 402-4500 or Woods Cross Police at 292-4422.
