Two face trial in Parkland garage break-in

Lehigh County District Attorney Gavin P. Holihan announced that two men will face trial on felony charges after they entered a Parkland School District bus garage without permission and illegally gained access to a computer system.

Shawn Levy, 32, of Breinigsville, and Tyler Young, 27, of Allentown, are both charged with felony counts of conspiracy to burglary, conspiracy to criminal trespass, and conspiracy to the unlawful duplication.

At the time the offenses occurred, both defendants worked as Parkland School District bus drivers.

The defendants had preliminary hearings scheduled before Magisterial District Judge Derek A. Kirsopp. Levy and Young waived their rights to preliminary hearings.

The defendants are scheduled for formal arraignments at 8:30 a.m. Oct. 2 before Judge Robert L. Steinberg. Both Levy and Young remain free on $50,000 unsecured bail.

On June 8, South Whitehall Township Police were notified by Parkland School Director of Safety Dr. Anthony Naradko about an unauthorized entry into the Orefield Middle School bus garage.

The school district provided surveillance video from the night of the incident around 10 p.m. June 6. The video showed both defendants arrive together in a Tesla registered to Young. The car parked in a lot near the garage and a few minutes later, both defendants entered a secure bus garage that neither had access to open.

The video showed both defendants remain inside the garage for nearly two hours before they both left together. School district officials said neither defendant was permitted nor authorized to be inside the facility after hours.

Garage Foreman Daniel Blewitt reported that on June 6, while he was not present at work, he received notifications about new computer login attempts. Those attempts showed access from Blewitt’s cellphone and computer. Blewitt’s computer was located inside the Orefield Middle School bus garage located at 2619 Stadium Drive.

Blewitt reviewed the account history and discovered that multiple disciplinary files had been accessed on June 6, 2026.

During the course of the investigation, school district employees located a printed student roster that included photographs of students on Levy’s assigned school bus. That roster had been printed on April 25.

School officials said student photograph rosters are only accessible through the Parkland School District’s software system and access is restricted to administrative personnel. Neither Levy nor Young had authorized access to the student photograph rosters.

The investigation later revealed that on at least 55 different occasions between March 25 and June 5, an off-site IP address associated with Levy and Young had been used to gain unauthorized access to another district employee’s account and to view and duplicate protected electronic files and records, including the student photograph roster.

These cases were investigated by South Whitehall Township Police Detective Tyler J. Doherty and will be prosecuted by Chief Deputy District Attorney Sara A. Moyer.
