Pasadena Police identified the suspect following an investigation.
The case of the Colorado jewel thief may be over.
Rose pots. Last month, the Colorado football team, coached by Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders, held a team player in the visitors’ locker room at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., home of the UCLA Bruins.
They announced that several of their chains were stolen.
The theft occurred during a game won by the Bruins. Pasadena police launched an investigation and confirmed the alleged theft, USA Today reported.
They were identified as potential UCLA football players from Riverside County school, Beaumont High School.
The suspects allegedly took jewelry and money from Buffalo players’ lockers.
Police have not released the names of the students and no arrests have yet been made.
The collected information was sent to the Youth Directorate within the Prosecutor’s Office.
The theft took place on October 1.
28.
“We are disappointed to hear that Beaumont High School students were involved in the UCLA-Colorado football game on Oct.
28,” the Beaumont Unified School District said in a written statement.
“We strive to develop strong character and integrity in our students, and the alleged actions do not represent our core values as a school, district and community.
Although the students did not attend the UCLA-Colorado football game as part of a school-sponsored event, the district is cooperating fully with the Pasadena Police Department’s investigation.
Police have already confirmed that some of the jewelery has been returned and are investigating. UCLA athletics officials also released a statement saying the students were not on an “official” recruiting trip.
The school said: “As the investigation is still ongoing, we cannot confirm anything other than that they did not officially visit.” After the robbery, Sanders proposed compensating players who had their belongings stolen from schools and/or stadiums.
