A LAPTOP computer worth $30,000 was stolen from the Public School System’s central office on Wednesday.
Department of Public Safety spokesman Pete C. Muna said the laptop computer was taken by an unidentified person on the second floor of the Retirement Fund Building occupied by PSS.
According to Muna, PSS technology coordinator Mark Savares told the police that a staff noticed the item was gone when she reported to work on Wednesday at 7 a.m.
Another PSS staff, Andrea Alepuyo, told the police that she worked in the office until late evening on Tuesday.
Alepuyo stated that at 5 p.m., she heard the door to the office opened. She said she did not see who went in because her view was blocked by a partition wall at her desk.
Alepuyo said she left the office at 6:38 p.m.
Police placed the case under further investigation.
