A Spanish teacher in Garden City, Kansas has been suspended with pay after she was accused of stealing three laptops.

Claudia Pinon, 36, is charged with three counts of felony theft. She taught at Garden City High School and at an alternative school.

The school district called police when they could not locate the laptops which they say were assigned to Pinon's classroom.

Investigators have not said why they believe Pinon took the computers. The missing laptops are worth about $3,300.
