Half Moon Bay Police say they have arrested all four of the suspected participants involved in last week’s burglary of lockers at Half Moon Bay High School. The four teenage suspects allegedly broke into 34 school lockers, scrounging for money and valuables. Police Capt. Michael O’Malley says the police have obtained a videotape of the suspects going into a Half Moon Bay Longs Drugs earlier on the night of the burglary, and they were able to identify the suspects as Norteño gang members from Fremont. One suspect was caught at a nearby gas station on the night of the crime, and the other three were later interviewed and arrested. O’Malley says the case has been forwarded to the District Attorney’s Office. The four teenagers have been released on their promise to appear in court.
