From Times staff and Wire reports

Two former Air Force base security policemen who pleaded guilty to stealing three fighter jet engines worth nearly $10 million were sentenced in Salt Lake City to federal prison terms. The case grew from a two-year Pentagon investigation of thefts from bases in the West and Southwest that resulted in charges against nearly three dozen military personnel and civilians. Airman 1st Class Brian David Roth, 23, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for theft of government property. Senior Airman Danny Joe Stroud, 24, was sentenced to 37 months in prison.
