Indian-origin charged with stealing computers from college

A 31-year-old Indian-origin man has been arrested and charged with stealing 22 computers worth over USD 30,000 from his former college in the US.
Dhawal Gandhi, who is reportedly homeless, was arrested last week and charged with stealing USD 30,799 worth of desktop computers and equipment from Syracuse University's Link Hall, a report in syracuse.Com said.
Gandhi has been in the Onondaga County Justice Center since Saturday. He is being held on USD 10,000 bail and will be presented in court next week.
Gandhi, a former student of Syracuse University, allegedly trespassed at his college last month late in the night and stole 22 computers from a lab, police said.

The report said that the computers in the lab were fixed to tables with cable locks and Gandhi cut the cables and stole the 22 computers.
Syracuse Police Sergeant Rick Helterline said more than half of the computers have been recovered, some from various locations at the campus itself.
Gandhi told police he sold some of the computers and accessories online. Police said the motive behind Gandhi's action was not clear.
Gandhi was charged by Syracuse police with third-degree burglary, third-degree grand larceny and third-degree criminal while Syracuse Campus police has charged him with fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property and third-degree criminal trespass, both misdemeanors, according to jail records.
