Reward offered for equipment stolen at West Point

The U.S. Army is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to whoever stole more than $400,000 worth of equipment at West Point, including hundreds of portable radios.

The Army Criminal Investigation Command says the equipment was stolen in mid-September from a warehouse on the grounds of the U.S. Military Academy.

Investigators say the stolen items included more than 300 portable digital radios, worth $1,142 each, and about 600 batteries worth $87 each.

Investigators didn't release information on the theft and reward until this week.
