On December 12, 2014, in the Northern District of Illinois, Timothy Maurer, a former Raytheon employee, pled guilty to a criminal information charging him with theft of government property.
The investigation was initiated following reports of systemic theft of U.S. government-owned computer equipment at Shindand Air Base during 2013 and 2014. Evidence revealed that Maurer shipped 11 packages containing stolen computer equipment to individuals residing in the U.S. who were later determined to be eBay re-sellers.
Maurer admitted to stealing over $200,000 worth of equipment in a plea deal.
