Los Angeles police have arrested a Canyon Country man on suspicion of possessing $579,000 in stolen bitcoin mining computers. Bryan Thola, 26, was released on his own recognizance from a Van Nuys jail early Friday morning, according to inmate jail records. He was arrested on suspicion of possessing stolen property, a felony. Police found what looked to be dozens of computer towers stacked in Thola's cargo van and a public storage unit.
Lt. Michael McComas said the investigation was ongoing and he could not release any other information about the case or the stolen computers. Police ask anyone with information to call the Commercial Crimes Division at 486-5920.
