GREEN RIVER, Utah, Dec. 21, 2016 (Gephardt Daily) — An arrest has been made after a burglary at Book Cliff Elementary in Green River last week.
A 20-year-old Green River resident, Nicholas Cordingley, was arrested on Sunday in connection with the burglary on Dec. 15., according to a news release from the Emery County Sheriff’s Office. Cordingley was arrested at a gas station without incident.
Some of the stolen items have been recovered, officials said, and returned to the school. A total of 27 iPads and a Kindle that were used by the students as part of their daily curriculum were stolen.
Also stolen was a white 2012 Chevy Impala with the school district logo on the side doors.
The Chevy Impala was located in San Juan County, but the car has been intentionally destroyed beyond repair, said the news release.
Cordingley appeared in Seventh District Court Tuesday on charges of burglary of a non-dwelling, theft of a motor vehicle, and theft; value exceeding $5,000. The investigation is ongoing.
Anyone with further information is asked to call the ECSO at 435-381-2404.
