3 Airmen Accused in Vest-Stealing Scheme
From Times Wire Reports
Three airmen have been arrested in an alleged scheme to steal 35 bulletproof vests from Moody Air Force Base and sell them to drug dealers for $100 each.
Eighteen of the vests, which typically sell for as much as $600, have been recovered, but others still might be on the street, Sheriff Ashley Paulk said in Valdosta.
“You never want the bad guys to have all the tools that you’ve got to work with,” Paulk said.
