BOSTON (AP) – Police have identified two men suspected of walking into a Boston elementary school and stealing a water jug containing hundreds of dollars raised by students for victims of the Asian tsunami.

Police, with cooperation from witnesses and the community, arrested Dominicke Lewis, 18, of Mattapan on Saturday morning and charged him with larceny over $250. He is scheduled to be arraigned in Dorchester District Court on Tuesday.

Later in the morning, police went to another address in Mattapan where they recovered the water jug and three personal checks made payable to the school for tsunami aid.

Mark Anthony Grant, 17, was not arrested, but was issued a summons to appear in Dorchester District Court on Tuesday to face a charge of larceny over $250.

The suspects told police that the cash inside the water jug, estimated to be $300 to $500, had been spent. Police will also ask a judge to order the men to pay restitution.

The money was stolen from the John P. Holland Elementary School in the city’s Dorchester neighborhood on Thursday. Two suspects allegedly entered the school under false pretenses, and while one man held open the door to the school’s main office, the other grabbed the bottle, police said.

Media reports of the theft resulted in a flood of calls to the school with promises to replace the money, and by midmorning Friday the school had received about $3,000 in pledges, principal Michele O’Connell said.

The pledges included $1,000 from a local insurance company and $500 each from a rabbi and an anonymous donor, O’Connell said.

The theft was discouraging, she said, because she knew the donations had been a sacrifice in a school where about 90 percent of the students qualify for free lunch.
