UC Davis police arrested two students this week on suspicion of attempting to steal books from the temporary bookstore in the UC Davis Pavilion, campus officials said.
Adam Sato, 21, of Redwood City; and James Hoblitzell, 19, of Lodi; were taken into custody Tuesday morning after bookstore staff reported seeing them put books into a backpack and leave the store without paying for them, UCD spokesman Andy Fell said.
Sato, a UCD student, and Hoblitzell, a UC Merced student, were booked into the Yolo County Jail on burglary and theft charges, Fell said.
