Man on Probation for Theft Caught Stealing Computer Two Days Later, Police Say

A 20-year-old man is accused of stealing a laptop computer from a car on May 8 in Harvester. Two days previously, he had been placed on probation for another theft case.

Anthony James Cissi, 20, of the 3900 block of Cambridge Crossing in the Harvester area, was charged May 9 with misdemeanor stealing.

A St. Charles County Sheriff’s deputy said he found Cissi walking and carrying a computer bag May 8 on Pecan Hill Drive near Cambridge Crossing. The spot was near 11 Mouser Drive, where the laptop had been stolen.

Cissi pleaded guilty May 6 to another misdemeanor theft and was placed on two years probation. On Jan. 24, he stole a backpack from a car on Cambridge Crossing in the same block in which he lives.

In that case, he admitted stealing items from three vehicles. Some of the items were found in his bedroom, including two iPhones, a Samsung cell phone, an MP3 player, an iPod and cash.

A detective reported that Cissi is a suspect in many stealing cases being investigated. He told investigators he is a heroin addict and steals to support his habit.

Cissi also pleaded guilty April 19 to receiving stolen property and was placed on five years probation.

He is being held in St. Charles County jail. Bail was set at $10,000 for the May 8 stealing case.
