He took the time in the halls and won at the Campus of the primary school of northern California, apparently without fear of being noticed.
When an administrator asked him, the man said he was looking for a teacher or a student to throw the inquisitor. But, according to the authorities, he was really looking for offices and unattended wallets that belonged to unveiled personnel members.
The Marin County Sheriff’s Office alleges Christopher Britton, or Fairfield, robbery classrooms in several schools in February, making credit cards and the increase of thousands of dollars in unauthorized purchases.
Britton, 34, was arrested on Friday morning at a Fairfield residence for a working group of several counties that included the police departments of Vacaville, Lafayette and Danville, Dublin police services and the Sheriff’s office.
Britton was accused of theft, theft in the second degree and using a credit and information card without consent, all serious crimes and a couple or naughty to obtain credit using the identification of another person, according to the courts.
“His Mo was to attack primary schools at the end of the afternoon at the time students and staff are on the campus, but in meetings or programs after school,” said Deputy Stephanie Ware, spokesman for the Marin County Sheriff’s office.
True said that three public primary schools in the exclusive suburb or San Rafael were stolen: Lucas Valley, Mary Silveira and Venetia Valley.
Of those schools, 10 teachers were taken from approximately $ 7,000 in credit card positions, True said.
The authorities are not safe about the total number of schools that Britton could have reached, said Ware, adding that the researchers suspect that there are victims in Marin’s counties, against Costa and Alameda.
The first incident was reported on February 12 in Mary Silveira. The three schools were run over in February. It is not clear how the authorities connected Britton with the robberies.
Ware described Lucas Valley and Mary Silveira as “quite open campus” that lacked doors that could discourage strangers to wander through the facilities.
Sheriff’s officials claim that Britton would wait for assemblies or other activities to strain in unlocked classrooms where teachers read personal items.
It would limit theft to one or two letters, authorities, cash and other non -disturbed value objects said so as not to arouse suspicion.
Once outside the campus, I would use the cards to buy goods, the authorities allege.
True said some victims did not realize that they started, in some cases for weeks, until they reached a specific credit card or in bank extracts.
“People keep multiple credit cards, so it’s not surprising,” True said.
