Laptop Computer Stolen

Wilkes sheriff deputies are looking for two people to question, in connection with the disappearance of a laptop computer from a rural North Wilkesboro man's home yesterday. Jimmy Porter, who's an insurance agent for Humana Insurance and works from home, says the thieves entered his house sometime over the weekend through a front door, which has a broken lock. The only item taken from the house was his business computer, a Dell laptop worth about 14-hundred dollars. Porter gave deputies the names of two people he believed knew about the broken door and about where he stored the computer. One is a 21-year old woman, and the other is her boyfriend, who lives a short distance from Porter's house. Their names have not been released so far, and deputies say the investigation continues.
