Orange aerospace engineer Dongfan "Greg" Chung was sentenced today to nearly 16 years in federal prison for his conviction on charges of economic espionage and acting as an agent of the People's Republic of China for more than three decades.

The 73-year-old stole restricted technology and trade secrets, including information related to the Space Shuttle program and Delta IV rocket, while employed by Rockwell, where Chung went to work in 1973 and stayed up through and beyond its defense and space units being taken over by Boeing in 1996.

​
Three vehicles were impounded, three people were cited for driving with suspended or revoked licenses and one unlicensed driver was cited in a police sting outside Harbor Justice Center in Newport Beach Monday.

Between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m., undercover Costa Mesa police officers followed 16 offenders who had been ordered by a judge not to drive. Most who had left courtrooms and walked to parking area had rides waiting for them, but four got behind the wheels of vehicles and drove off.

They didn't drive far.
