Laptop with Fort Lewis soldiers' information found

By Associated Press

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - A laptop computer that was stolen from an Army employee's truck last week has been found.

Police arrested a 17-year-old Lacey boy, who could face a charge of possessing stolen property. Tumwater police said Friday the laptop was among items recovered from vehicle break-ins. The laptop had information about up to 900 Fort Lewis soldiers.

On July 4, an Army employee reported that someone had taken a laptop and a 500-gigabyte removable hard drive from the seat of his unlocked Dodge truck.

There was no classified, secret or top-secret information on the missing items, but a Fort Lewis spokeswoman says officials were notifying soldiers that they could be at risk of identity theft.
