Andrew Halvorsen’s job as senior director of information technology at a Redwood City tech company included buying Apple laptops for employees. But according to federal prosecutors, Halvorsen sold at least 141 of the computers for cash, costing the company more than a half-million dollars.

Halvorsen, a 49-year-old Livermore resident, pleaded guilty Monday to conspiring to transport stolen property out of California.
