EL PASO, Texas -- The owners of an East side computer repair store are determined to bring a burglar to justice after the intruder stole 10 laptops belonging to customers.
Fernando Medina, co-owner of Computer Experts International, told ABC-7 the company stands to lose $10,000 replacing the stolen computers. "This hurt us as owners. It hurts my employees, my customers, my neighbors. Everyone's affected by it," he said.
Medina and his business partner got a phone call from their business' alarm company at around 3:45 a.m. Wednesday. By the time Medina got to his store on Viscount Boulevard, the crook had taken off. The alarm system was blaring, and the tinted glass door was shattered.
Medina showed ABC-7 surveillance videos from inside the store. "I can actually see what (the thief) did, but the bad part is I can't see his face," said Medina.
The surveillance video is not very clear-- it shows a figure in a hooded sweatshirt shining a flashlight throughout the store. The business owners hope someone will come forward with information that could lead to an arrest.
"We're a small business. We're locally owned. We've put a lot of time and effort into this, and for someone to come in and tear it up-- that's why it's more of a personal threat to us," said Medina.
All the customers whose laptops were stolen have been notified by the company and will have their computers replaced.
Here's a list of the kinds of computers that were stolen: -HP Pavillion DV4 -HP Presario CQ50 -HP Presario Q60 -Dell Studio 1555 -Dell Inspiron 1525 -Dell Inspiron 1545
They don't come with their original chargers, which were left behind by the crook.
