Humble High burglary suspects charged:

Two men have been charged with burglary after $3,500 of merchandise was taken from Humble High School on July 8, school officials said.

Christopher Grove, 22, and Matthew Duggan, 23, were in the Harris County Jail on Friday, district officials said.

According to Humble school district officials, a window was broken in the cafeteria when two suspects broke in. Computer equipment, Palm pilots, cell phones, cell phone batteries, keys and $40 petty cash were stolen, said Humble district spokeswoman Jamie Mount.

The incident was captured on a surveillance camera.

"On July 11, a Humble High School administrator saw an individual on Wilson Road who looked like one of the men and called Humble ISD police," Mount said.

Grove was located and taken into custody and Duggan turned himself in on an unrelated warrant July 18, Mount said.

"Our schools and school property belong to the community and it's important that the equipment be protected for student and employee use," Mount said.
