A 25-year-old man has been arrested and charged with burglary, petit larceny, trespassing and possession of stolen property after allegedly stealing a ceremonial sword and bullhorn from St. John's men's basketball head coach Rick Pitino's Carnesecca Arena office in New York City, per the Associated Press.

The New York Police Department revealed Saturday that Emanuel Yakubov was arrested on Friday, one day after surveillance footage showed two men walking down an arena hallway with the sword and bullhorn in hand. The second suspect is at-large, per police.

Police stated that the alleged crime took place on Tuesday evening after two people entered the athletics department offices "without authorization" and took numerous items before leaving campus on a moped.
