From Niesha Lofing:
Woodland police are looking for two people who tried to steal frozen food from a local high school early this morning.
Police and Woodland Joint Unified School District employees were called at 1:12 a.m. to Woodland High School on a report of a commercial burglary alarm.
When the district employee arrived at the school on North West Street, he saw two people in dark clothing running toward the football field, Sgt. Anthony Cucchi said.
Officers unsuccessfully searched the area for suspects.
The investigation revealed that the people broke into the high school's walk-in freezer and tried to steal an undisclosed amount of food before they were interrupted by the district employee, Cucchi said.
The freezer was padlocked shut.
"There were two locks they had to get through," he said.
Police are not sure whether any food was stolen.
"They still have to go through the inventory," Cucchi said.
The freezer housed food served during school meals.
Cucchi said similar burglaries have happened in the past at the school.
Police do not have a description of the suspects.
Officers are investigating the burglary and asking anyone with information to call police at (530) 666-2411 or (530) 661-7800.
Callers may remain anonymous.
