Lacey police are asking the public to help identify a man who broke into River Ridge High School on Jan. 11. He also may have burglarized the school on Nov. 24, according to police.

In November, a male suspect used a hammer to break a window, then entered the school and stole two Chromebooks. A set of bolt cutters also were used to break into a storage container on the campus.

The man left the scene in a vehicle that was waiting for him.

The suspect who broke into the school on Jan. 11 is described as 5-foot-10 with a medium build. He was last seen wearing dark clothes and a stocking cap.

Anyone with information is asked to call South Sound Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.
