Thieves stole equipment from a driver's license center and got away with
computers containing personal information on more than 11,000 people, state
officials said Thursday.

The thieves got a camera and a printer during the break-in late Tuesday,
plus enough card stock and laminate to make about 750 fake licenses, said
Betty Serian, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation deputy secretary,
at a news conference Thursday.

They also stole two computers containing data on 11,384 people.

The information included names, addresses, dates of birth, drivers' license
numbers and at least partial Social Security numbers. The data included
complete Social Security numbers for 5,348 people, officials said.
