WESTCHESTER - Three people accused of stealing nine computers from the Open Charter Magnet School in Westchester were caught by built-in security software, police said today.

The computers were stolen between March 9 and 10 at the campus at 5540 W. 77th St., the Los Angeles Police Department reported.

"The suspects were unaware that the computers were equipped with security software," police said. "Once (a) computer was turned on and connected to the Internet, it monitored and recorded their location via GPS. It additionally (took) photographs of the user."

On March 12, LAPD detectives tracked down one of the suspects, and the investigation led to two others. Their names were not released, and it was unclear whether they were behind bars.

Four of the computers were recovered.
