"We received info from a confidential informant that he knew of an individual having a script from Breaking Bad and wanted to know if anyone wanted to buy an iPad," Bernalillo County Sheriff's Department spokesman Aaron Williamson told E! News.

According to authorities, on Dec. 20, Cranston drove up to lookout point on Sandia Crest outside of Albuquerque not far from where Breaking Bad shoots.

"He had driven up there and parked his car and walked out to the lookout to take in the views of the city. He was only gone for 10 minutes and realized his car, an Audi, has been broken into," said Williamson.

The spokesman noted that the crime appears to be a random act and that the thesp wasn't targeted for his role on the show. They ended up arresting McAfee after the informant revealed a man had been bragging about pilfering the items, including the script, at a local bar.
