Authorities are trying to find a 34-year-old St. Louis man and a 28-year-old St. Louis woman who allegedly smashed glass display cases and stole laptop computers from area Target stores. The pair allegedly stole 10 laptop computers from the Arnold Target store, Arnold Police reported.
At about 6:45 p.m. March 27, employees at the Target store at 3849 Vogel Road in Arnold told police they heard what sounded like glass breaking, and then they saw a man and woman take nine HP laptop computers and one Acer laptop computer from the case. The two ran out of the store with the computers and drove away in a black Cadillac SUV that didn’t have license plates, the report said.
The computers were worth a combined $4,569.90, according to the report.
Investigators found a screwdriver near the broken display case, Arnold Police reported.
On March 30, Target’s regional loss prevention officer informed Arnold Police that the man and woman had been identified by St. Louis County Police following similar incidents at stores in St. Louis County, Lt. Jason Valentine said.
However, as of April 1, no computers had been recovered, and the man and woman had not been located or arrested, he said.
