2 arrested in connection to burglary at Bronx school

NEW YORK -- Police say two people were arrested after allegedly burglarizing a Bronx school Saturday.

It happened around 2:45 a.m. at Lehman High School on East Tremont Avenue in Pelham Bay.

According to police, multiple alarms were activated and several windows were broken when officers arrived on scene.

Two people were taken into custody -- 19-year-old Terrell Babbitt, of Brooklyn, and 21-year-old David Leonardo, of the Bronx.

Police say officers recovered a bag containing a medium-sized rock, candy, a hole puncher and a calculator.

Babbitt and Leonardo are facing a number of charges, including burglary and petit larceny.
