You'd be hard-pressed to find any worse place to commit a crime than a District Attorney's Office. Their goal in life is to lock criminals up and throw away the key.
Still, an Austin man found the Travis County DA's office the perfect place to steal nine laptops early one morning last week, amounting to almost $15,000 in stolen property.
According to KXAN, police already have a suspect in mind, 31-year-old Austin Wayne Mullins, who authorities say broke into the office last Wednesday just before 4am.
How he bypassed all the security measures no one knows, but initial thoughts say Mullins may have pulled a door in the back alley of the building so hard, he defeated the locking mechanism.
Mullins was due in court the week of the theft, and is a repeated offender so authorities were able to recognize him.
An arrest warrant has been filed for Mullins. This theft is being investigated as a state jail felony, which is the lowest-level felony.
