NEW YORK (AP) -- Three people were arrested Thursday in connection
with the theft of several computers from the Democratic National
Committee's regional finance office.

The arrests were made after an informant told police the suspects had
allegedly purchased some of the stolen property, police said. They
were identified as Angel Santiago, 42, of Queens; Carlos Rojas, 28, of
Queens; and William Crespo, 26, of Brooklyn.

Police were still investigating whether the three were involved in the
initial theft.

Taken from party office

Three laptop computers and a hand-held electronic organizer were
stolen from the office on Sept. 13, District Attorney Richard A. Brown
said. Law enforcement officials said the computers did not contain any
"sensitive" material. DNC officials did not immediately return
telephone calls for comment.

Santiago is a computer assistant administrator for a Manhattan
investment firm, Rojas is a beer distributor, and Crespo is an
elementary school teacher in the Bronx.

They were charged with criminal possession of stolen property in the
third degree and could face additional charges, Brown said. If
convicted, they face up to seven years in prison.
