A total of 6 of the stolen iPads from the NBISD's 9th Grade Center
have been recovered, and a 14-year old New Braunfels boy has been
detained, after multiple tips and an ongoing investigation led officers
to that stolen property late last night.
New Braunfels Police
officials say that numerous tips from the public and their own
investigation led them to the banks of the Guadalupe River off of
Comanche Street just before dark last night, and, with the help of the
New Braunfels Fire Department Dive Team, they were able to recover 6 of
the 37 stolen iPads from the 9th Grade Center, which was burglarized
this past Sunday night.
Those dive teams returned to that area
again at first light this morning to make sure no iPads were missed, and
no additional stolen property was found.
But they were able to take a 14-year old New Braunfels boy into custody and charged him with burglary of a building,Newer laser cutting machine

was then taken and held at the Guadalupe County Juvenile Detention
Center.
Meanwhile, the search continues for the remaining iPads
and other stolen computer equipment. A total of 31 iPads remain
unaccounted for, and police are asking parents, students, and anyone in
the community to come forward now if you think you have one of these
stolen devices.
They say that if you are found with one of those
iPads, you could face arrest and possible criminal charges, but if you
come forward now and turn over the device, you will likely avoid those
consequences.
Each of the stolen iPads is engraved on the back
with "Property of the NBISD," a serial number, and instructions on where
to return the device if found. That laser-engraving is on the back of
the actual device, not on the hard case that the iPads are in, so be
sure to take the device out to check for those markings.
