Wedly Vil {BSO}
A man broke into a computer lab at Coconut Creek High School on Sunday night before police arrested him for burglary, authorities said.
According to the Coconut Creek Police Department, Wedly Vil, 25, of Pompano Beach, jumped the school’s fence and forced his way into the computer lab, setting off an alarm on school grounds shortly after 7 p.m. Sunday.
Officers responding to the alarm reported spotting Vil near the school’s portable trailer classrooms. He took off running after seeing the officers, but was caught after a short pursuit, during which he was physically restrained by police, according to an arrest report.
Officers said they found evidence in Vil’s backpack suggesting he may have committed additional burglaries at other locations.
Vil was charged with burglary and resisting arrest. The investigation is ongoing, police said.
The accused burglar was being held at the Broward County Main Jail on Tuesday on an $8,000 bond, according to online records.
