Five accused of stealing books from UNM libraries to sell

University of New Mexico police have arrest warrants for five people who they believe stole valuable textbooks from campus libraries to sell for cash. The suspects had a price list that showed how much companies would pay for used textbooks, arrest warrant affidavits filed in Metro Court showed.

“They went in knowing they were looking for specific high-dollar books they could get a specific value for,” UNM Police Lt. Patrick Davis said.
