Former students accused of stealing computers from North St. Louis County school

FLORISSANT (KMOV.com) – Two men were charged with second degree burglary and stealing after police say they attempted to steal computers from a school.

18-year-old Justin Wilson and 20-year-old Daryl Greer are accused of stealing nine iMac computers from the Mark Twain Student Support Center, which is in the Ferguson-Florissant School District.

Police tell News 4 thieves covet electronics because they are easy to sell and are easy to give as a gift. The Florissant Police Chief also said newer electronics are even more attractive to criminals.

“The desktop computers are a lot smaller. The monitors are a lot smaller, thinner. They are a lot more portable and lightweight for people to carry out and walk away with.,” Andy Haarmann said.

Some good advice regarding the recording of the serial numbers of your electronics at the end of this article. Something that I will be rechecking myself today
