DA, feds investigate alleged theft of laptops at Prime Prep Academy
The defunct Prime Prep Academy has a new set of eyes looking at allegations of wrongdoing.
The Tarrant County district attorney’s office is consulting with federal authorities about claims that more than 100 laptops were stolen. Samantha K.

“We’re currently consulting with the U.S. attorney’s office on the best way to prosecute the case,” she wrote.
