Search For Burglary Suspect Locks Down Martinez School

Martinez Junior High School was briefly locked down this morning as police searched for a fleeing burglary suspect, police said.

Officers responded to reports of a burglary in the 800 block of Robinson Street at 11:27 a.m. and saw three suspects fleeing from a home, police said.

Two juvenile suspects were immediately captured, but the third fled across Alhambra Creek and toward the nearby school’s basketball courts.

The school, located at 1600 Court St., was put on lockdown as a precaution, according to police. The suspect fled through the school grounds and was detained back in the neighborhood by interim police Chief Eric Ghisletta, who was in an unmarked police car.

Police identified the suspect as Derrick Spragan-Rubin. While searching the area, police found a backpack full of electronics and the homeowner identified them as having been taken in the burglary, police said.
