Investigators are looking for a man they say helped bring over a dozen stolen computers to an Augusta hotel.

They say Dionne Walker helped bring 16 stolen computers to Augusta.

They found the stolen computers while looking for someone suspected of prostitution at a downtown Augusta hotel.

Investigators found Leon Jennings in the room, but it was rented by Walker. Jennings has been arrested, but deputies are still looking for Walker.

Investigators were able to trace two of the computers to a Wal-Mart warehouse in Alabama.

"They were moved in a U-Haul trailer to the hotel where they unloaded them into the room. So we tracked the U-Haul back to Dionne Walker who rented the trailer in Alabama where the computers were stolen from," said Lt. Tony Walden with the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office.

The incident is still being investigated; officers tell NBC Augusta more people could be involved.
