Army offers $10,000 reward for stolen laptops

Advertiser Staff

The Army is offering a $10,000 reward to help solve the October thefts of 79 brand new Dell laptop computers and four flat-panel monitors from an Army warehouse.

The computers and monitors are valued at $118,000.

The Army's criminal investigation command, or CID, said two separate break-ins occurred between Oct. 5 and Oct. 26 at the Army storage facility, 6042 Higgins Road. The warehouse is across Kamehameha Highway from Wheeler Army Airfield.

The storage facility is operated by the 30th Signal Battalion. Officials said the investigation has reached a dead end, and the reward is being offered in the hopes it will lead to a break in the case.

Anyone with information on the theft can call the Hawai'i field office of CID, at 655-0401, or the Schofield military police desk at 655-7114.

Information also can also be e-mailed to crime.tips@belvoir.army.mil.

The Army command said tipsters can make reports anonymously.
