Two Charged in Thefts at Princeton Day School

Two people- a boyfriend and girlfriend- have been charged in connection with thefts at Princeton Day School and Princeton Police say the public's help was instrumental in helping police identify the alleged culprits.

Mark Trimble, 22, of Hess Way in Hamilton and Sheila Frank, 21, of Maple Avenue in Bordentown are charged with entering Princeton Day School after regular hours and stealing two iMac laptops and an iPhone, all owned by students and with a total value of $2,600. 

The thefts occurred on Feb. 23, Feb. 25 and March 13, police said. 

On March 22, police released surveillance photos from the scene and asked for the public's help to identify the suspects. 

Police received close to 30 calls identifying Trimble and Frank, Sgt. Mike Cifelli said. 

Frank was interviewed and on March 27 was charged with complicity to commit burglary, a third degree crime. She was released on bail.

Trimble is out of the state and unavailable. He was charged with burglary and theft (also third degree crimes) through the courts.

"He's been made aware of the charges through his attorney," Cifelli said. "He's out of the state, but upon his return, he will have to answer to the charges."

Trimble's bail will be set at $30,000 cash.
