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

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

The Army's criminal investigation command, or CID, said two break-ins occurred between Oct. 5 and Oct. 26 at the Army storage facility at 6042 Higgins Road. The warehouse is on military property 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 that the reward is being offered in the hopes it will lead to a break in the case.

"The reason we've gone the reward route is we're really at a loss for leads at this time," said John A. Monize, a special agent with the Hawai'i CID field office.

Monize added that with the reward, the Army is trying to find "someone who may know somebody's cousin or something that came into some money from selling a couple of laptops that turned out to belong to us."

The haul included five different types of Dell laptops and four 19-inch monitors.

Monize said in such high-value property thefts the Army can offer a reward of up to 10 percent of the value of the stolen property.

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

Information also can also be e-mailed to crime.tips@belvoir.ar my.mil. The Army command said tipsters can make reports anonymously.
