JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) A former Jefferson City business owner has admitted
to his role in a burglary scheme in which primarily electronic equipment and
college housing in Columbia was targeted and the loot was sold on eBay.

The U.S. attorney’s office says 27-year-old Yevhen Olejovich Drobovych pleaded
guilty Tuesday to one count of mail fraud. Drobovych was the owner of Jefferson
City Computer Services.

Several individuals identified during the investigation burglarized residences
and forwarded the stolen items to Drobovych. He admitted through his plea to
posting the stolen items for sale on eBay and mailing them to buyers.

Drobovych faces up to 20 years in federal prison without parole. A sentencing
hearing will be scheduled after a pre-sentence investigation.
