BRIEF: Burnsville: Two sentenced in theft of high school computers

Jul 18, 2012 (Pioneer Press - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- Two teenagers have been sentenced for stealing computers from Burnsville High School.

Devan Michael Bracht, 19, was sentenced Wednesday, July 18, in Dakota County District Court to two days in jail, five years of probation and five days of community work service. His accomplice, Aleksandr Gula, 19, was sentenced earlier this month to five days in jail, five years of probation and 10 days of community work service.

Both must pay restitution for the May 2011 thefts.

Surveillance video showed Bracht and Gula in the school's media center a day before school staff reported two desktop computers and two laptops missing.

Bracht was a senior at the school at the time. Gula was a student in the district until 2009, when he transferred to an online school.

They both pleaded guilty to felony theft.
