Authorities said they found equipment from East Side Union, Mount Pleasant, and Alum Rock school districts in his home and a stolen car.

SAN JOSE — A man was arrested on suspicion of burglarizing several San Jose-area schools of technological equipment — including specialty equipment for hearing and vision-impaired students, according to authorities.

A series of burglaries were reported from August 2022 through February 2023 in the East Side Union, Mount Pleasant, and Alum Rock school districts, according to a news release sent Tuesday morning by San Jose police. Authorities said that the suspect struck well after school hours, targeting portable classrooms that lacked alarm systems and allegedly prying open doors to take equipment.

Police said they identified a 44-year-old San Jose man as a suspect “through extensive follow-up,” but they did not divulge how investigators were led to the man. The suspect was arrested in a stolen car containing several pieces of equipment from the schools, police said. Authorities said they served a search warrant March 21 at the man’s residence, where detectives found laptop computers, printers and security cameras, as well as the specialty equipment for impaired students.
