Laptops stolen from two Town of Sheboygan businesses

At least 28 laptop computers and other items have been reported stolen from two adjacent businesses in the Town of Sheboygan, according to the Sheboygan County Sheriff’s Department.

Twenty-four computers, a video projector, a digital camera and computer software were reported stolen Monday morning from Earth Tech at 4135 Technology Parkway, according to a sheriff’s department report. Earth Tech officials told deputies that even more laptop computers could have been stolen.

Four laptop computers, each valued at $2,500, were reported stolen Monday from Aero-Metric Inc. at 4020 Technology Parkway, according to a sheriff’s department report.

Detective David Obremski said the break-ins are similar to burglaries that occurred Jan. 23 at Muth Mirror Systems at 4221 High Tech Lane, and Motion Industries at 3669 Enterprise Drive, both in the Town of Sheboygan. Obremski said investigators haven’t determined if all the break-ins are related.

“The targets seem to be the same,” Obremski said. “The same method of entry was used. They’re not ransacking the offices and they’re going through and looking for computer equipment.”

The south main entrance to Aero-Metric had pry marks on it, while there were no signs of forced entry to Earth Tech, the reports said.
