A man who stole thousands of dollars in computer equipment and sold them on an online auction site faces a third-degree felony charge of theft, according to Collin County Detention Center records.

Michael Kenneth Anello, 44, of The Colony, was arrested last Wednesday and charged with theft between $20,000 and $100,000 for allegedly stealing $36,000 worth of miscellaneous computer equipment from his office and selling them on eBay to the highest bidder, McKinney Police Capt. Randy Roland said.

Anello is accused of stealing the equipment from McKinney Public Safe, located in the 2100 block of South Redbud Street. Roland said Anello worked at the company.
The complainant had filed several theft reports over the last few months, ranging from May 1 to Aug. 21, Roland said.

Police were able to link Anello to the thefts and picked up a warrant for his arrest. They served the warrant Thursday and arrested Anello at his office, Roland said.

Anello was booked into the Collin County Detention Center and received a third-degree felony charge of theft ranging between $20,000 and $100,000. The jail released him Friday after he posted a $25,000 bond.
