Deputies from the sheriff's office responded to Urbana High School shortly before 2:15 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 19, when an alarm was sounded due to a trespasser at the building.

Upon arrival, officers said that they located a suspect standing by a side door dressed entirely in dark clothing, and when confronted, he admitted to breaking into the building and stealing computer parts.

The stolen items had an estimated value of between $800 and $1,000, according to investigators.

Further investigation determined that the suspect is a juvenile - whose name is not being released due to his age - and he was a student at Urbana High School.

Officials said that charges are pending against the student.
