Dozen laptops stolen from medical office

Albany Police Department Spokesperson Phyllis Banks confirmed Monday that employees at Tower Medical Group, a subsidiary of Phoebe Health System, reported a break-in Monday morning as they were arriving to work.

Taken were 12 laptops used in the office, a wheelchair and some petty cash, Banks said. The value of the laptops is estimated to be around $13,000, she said.
