A Nesquehoning woman faces charges after she admitted breaking into the Panther Valley Elementary School and stealing computers.

Nesquehoning police charged Denise Kennedy, 44, of East Mill Street, with one count each burglary, criminal trespass, theft by unlawful taking and possession of drug paraphernalia.

According to an affidavit filed by Detective Richard Neikam, on Monday, he was contacted by the principal of the school to report that staff had noticed multiple items stolen from the school.

Robert Palazzo reviewed the video footage and said a woman with short black hair was inside the school at 3:34 p.m. on May 23.

Palazzo reported that one Chromebook, valued at $250, and two Kindle fire tablets, valued at $100 each, were taken. Palazzo told police he wasn’t sure how the woman, later identified as Kennedy, got into the school.

Police went to her residence and told Kennedy about the investigation.

Kennedy admitted that it was her in the video footage and that she was responsible for entering the school and taking the above electronics.

Police found the items in question in her home, as well as the outfit she was wearing in the video.

In addition, police also found drug paraphernalia.

She told police she was responsible for the thefts. She said she had used meth earlier that day and was high during the incident.

She was arraigned before District Judge Casimir Kosciolek on Monday and is in Carbon County Correctional Facility after being unable to post $30,000 10% bail.

She faces a preliminary hearing before Kosciolek on June 2.

Police said charges are pending from an incident last year.
