MISSOURI COMPUTERS THIEVES ARRESTED Arrests Made From Stolen Computers In St. Louis Hazelwood Schools:

Arrests Made From Stolen Computers In St. Louis Hazelwood Schools

July 9, 2009

St. Louis County Police reports four were charged with multiple counts in burglary, stealing and property damage.

The four accused are Marques Ray, David Allen, Willie Warren, and Christopher Peters. They were charged by the St. Louis, MO prosecutor’s office. A fifth suspect is a juvenile and in custody.

The four suspects stole almost 300 notebook computers. The crime spree involved multiple schools within the Hazelwood School District. The events took place in the fall of 2008. The five vandalized the school district by breaking windows and doors. The source of this release, KMOX radio of St. Louis, reports there were more than a dozen incidents.

This amount of material loss can often be reduced by using technology, particularly on notebooks, that reports the computer location upon the computer starting up. Software is installed on the computer that reports regularly to a computer response center that has the legal authority to recover a stolen computer. This is not a 100% repair, but will lead to quicker recovery times and a dramatic drop in incidents.

Lojack For Laptops, made by Absolute Software, is the product we support for our customers. Why replace the computer if you can recover the computer.
