SAN DIEGO (AP) - Several Marines have been arrested on charges of working with a group that stole ballistic vests and other gear from Camp Pendleton and sold it on the Internet, authorities revealed Wednesday.
The investigation unfolded amid widespread criticism that U.S. troops in war zones lacked body armor.
Authorities have arrested nine people so far, including several Pendleton-based Marines, the Department of Homeland Security said in a press release. Additional arrests were expected.
