2 Teens Sought in Computer-Hardware Heist

Two teenagers stole $92,000 worth of computer motherboards from a business after tying up three workers at gunpoint, police said Tuesday.

One teen walked into Lucky Star Technology USA Inc. on Artesia Boulevard about 6:15 p.m. Monday and asked for directions to a nonexistent address on the street, Buena Park police said. When the clerk called to another employee for assistance, another teen entered the lobby, and they held up the workers at gunpoint, police said.

The teenagers bound the pair with duct tape and locked them in the bathroom, and they did the same with the business manager when they found him upstairs, police said.

The teens then wheeled 66 cases of computer hardware--each with 20 circuit boards holding Pentium processor chips--to their rental truck waiting in the parking lot, police said.

The victims freed themselves and called police when they heard the truck drive off, police said.

The truck has not been found.

One robber is described as Asian, in his early teens, 5 feet 1 and 100 pounds, wearing a gray baseball cap, a black and red plaid shirt. The other is described as a Latino 15 to 16 years old, 5 feet 2 and 100 pounds with a blue, long-sleeve hooded shirt and baggy black jeans.
