Two individuals named Li and Cheng were arrested in China for stealing RAM sticks from hotels where gaming PCs are standard room equipment, raising about $1,950 by selling 16 stolen RAM sticks on the second-hand goods market. The accused thieves engaged in a spree of stealing RAM sticks from eSports hotels, with Li starting the crime spree in May in Shihezi City, Northern Xinjiang, and later recruiting Cheng to join him in the thefts.
