Santa Clara Ca. March 22 2008
Two Santa Clara University athletes have been arrested for allegedly stealing iPods, laptops and credit cards from fellow students and then trying to sell them on Craigslist, according to police.
Thomas Hendrickson, 20, and William Gorin, 21, both members of the university's water polo team, were arrested Monday in connection with the thefts after a Santa Clara police officer posed as a buyer and set up an exchange, police said Friday. The two were arrested on suspicion of burglary and possession of stolen property.
In an e-mail, SCU Athletic Director Dan Coonan said both students were suspended from the team pending "resolution of this matter."
Saturday night, while attending a house party on Panelli Place, Hendrickson and Gorin made off with various electronic devices from an unlocked bedroom, according to police.
A few hours later, Gorin, from Mercer Island, Wash., and Hendrickson, from Los Altos, targeted an apartment on Bellomy Street with its lights off. The door was locked, but the two found a key under a doormat and got inside. With the residents asleep, they searched the immediate area and made off with several items, police said.
Monday, one of the victims, also a SCU student, saw several of his stolen items for sale on Craigslist and notified police. A police sergeant posed as a buyer and agreed to meet the seller at a pre-arranged location. Around 5:30 p.m. Monday, the detectives arrested Hendrickson, who had showed up to sell the stolen property. He was arrested on suspicion of possessing stolen property.
Gorin was later arrested at his residence in Santa Clara.
All of the stolen property was returned to its owners.
