Federal agents have arrested four men they say conspired to steal, sell and buy military equipment ranging from a pair of $187,000 robots to body armor, uniforms, an M4 rifle and ammunition.
According to authorities, three of the men stole materiel from Fort Carson and gave it to a fourth man, Daniel Francis , to sell. They then split the proceeds, according to text messages among them that were included in court documents. Federal agents filed the case against the men Thursday after arresting them Wednesday.
