Two teenagers have been arrested in connection with the theft of dozens of iPads and other items from a northwest Atlanta elementary school.

After Atlanta Public Schools security cameras showed four people in Scott Elementary School Sunday morning, a police officer dispatched to the school discovered two teenagers inside.

Both carried bookbags containing more a total of than 20 iPad minis, iPad chargers and assorted “snack items,” according to police. Two other book bags found inside the school contained 20 more iPad minis , a half dozen older-model iPads—and more snacks.

The snack items were taken from a school vending machine, according to police.

Police were unable to locate the other suspects.

Both teenagers were charged with burglary and the iPads and other items were released to Scott’s principal.
