Ten iPads Found in Couple’s Car at the Baltimore Drive 7-Eleven

Talk about a Big Gulp.  La Mesa police say they’ve recovered 10 stolen iPads in one fell swoop—outside a 7-Eleven in west La Mesa.

The pricey Apple tablet computers were found in a car early Thursday, police said.

“Officers came upon a car with two subjects parked at the 7-Eleven store at 5255 Baltimore Dr. early this morning at 3:59 a.m.,” said police Lt. Dan Willis.

“Upon contacting the subjects, the officers discovered 10 iPads in the car,” he said.

Further investigation revealed that they were recently stolen from a vehicle parked at the Mission Valley Marriot Hotel, Willis said.

He identified the suspects as Cathy Lynn Keller, 40, of San Diego and Jeffrey Dale Owens, 41, of San Diego. Keller was being held on $20,000 bail at Las Colinas women’s jail in Santee, with arraignment set for 1:30 p.m. Sept. 26 in El Cajon Superior Court.

Owens, with the same bail and arraignment date, was being held at San Diego Central Jail, according to online records.
