MANSFIELD -- Police want help in identifying and finding two men involved in a Dec. 30 theft.

Detective Eric Bosko said the theft occurred at MT Business Technologies, 1150 National Parkway.

Surveillance camera footage shows a man wearing a long leather coat, black hat and beard entering the store at about 8:15 a.m.

The 37-year-old man who filed the report said the man looked around the showroom, then left.

At 10:30 a.m., a second man wearing eyeglasses, a blue jacket with white sleeves, white shirt and jeans entered the store and left with an Apple IBook from the showroom.

Times logged on the surveillance camera show the man entered and left with the laptop computer within four minutes.

"He didn't even have to look around," Bosko said. "It was real quick; he just grabbed it and left."

He said he thinks the two men worked together on the theft.

The laptop computer has the serial number UV3322WYPBN and is worth $1,053.

Anyone who can identify the two men from the surveillance video is asked to call Bosko at (419) 755-9791
