A Belmont man was arrested on Saturday for attempting to steal copper
pipes and wiring from the former HP site where Apple will be building Apple Campus 2, reports CBS Local.
Glenn
Cartwright, 56, was booked on Saturday into the Santa Clara County Main
Jail following his arrest on suspicion of burglary and possession of
burglary tools, Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Kurtis
Stenderup said. Cartwright was later released on $11,000 bail,
Stenderup said.
Security guards on site noticed that
previously secured gate to the property had been opened at around 9:30pm
on Saturday. They alerted police, believing that a burglary was in
progress.
The Sheriff's department called in a helicopter and the
Santa Clara K-9 unit to search for the suspect. A police dog located
Cartwright hiding in the bushes and after the suspect refused to
surrender, the dog was released, biting him before his arrest.
Deputies
found copper tubing and wiring that had been removed from the old
buildings. “It was piled up in a way that he was going to move it to a
car or something,” Stenderup said.
Cartwright was taken to the hospital to be treated for the dog bit, then booked.
Apple is planning to demolish the HP buildings to build its new spaceship campus.
