Robbers Sought In Computer Shop Break In

Tulsa Police need your help to catch two thieves.  News On 6 anchor Latoya Silmon reports police say they broke into a computer store early Tuesday and it was all caught on tape.

The store's owner says the thieves got away with $40,000 to $50,000 worth of laptops and other valuables.  He's hoping someone can spot them on surveillance video.

Under the cover of darkness, two men broke into OARS-PC.com, near 5^th and Sheridan, but little did they know big brother was watching.

"They steal our register, steal all of our laptops out of the display case and took a bunch out the back as well," said owner Don Gilreath.

The daylight sheds light on how they got in.  They pried a door open.

"It's hard to explain how you feel whenever someone just comes and takes everything you have," said owner Don Gilreath.

Don Gilreath says the worst part is that some of the equipment belonged to customers, and since he didn't have insurance, he'll have to replace everything.

"They hit me for $40 or $50,000 and I'm right back in the hole when I started the company," said owner Don Gilreath.

Gilreath says his business was just getting off the ground and he had plans to purchase the building.

"It's beyond frustrating," said owner Don Gilreath.

Especially since he's been here before.  He says four years ago someone else broke in, so he installed the surveillance system.  Gilreath hopes the investment will help nab those responsible.

Gilreath says the crooks also got away with some firearms and his safe.

Anyone with any information about the case is encouraged to call Crimestoppers at 596-COPS.
