Computers Stolen From Tax Business
Robbers Stole Two Computers Used To Process Tax Returns
HARPER WOODS, Mich - Harper Woods police are searching for three people who broke into the Liberty Tax Services on Kelly Street and stole computers.
Surveillance video caught the entire robbery.
The video shows thieves throwing a brick through the business’ window. The three robbers jump in and, in just a matter of 25 seconds, run out with two computer towers and three computer monitors.
"They pretty much tore apart my whole front office," said owner Jason Kassab.
Kassab said his customers don’t need to be worried that their personal information was on any of those stolen computers.
“Fortunately the way our system is set on our front office computer your information goes to a more secure computer once the return is done it doesn’t store any of your tax information or personal,” Kassab said.
If you are ever concerned your identity may have been stolen, the Better Business Bureau said the first call should be to your local police department. File a report of stolen identity.
