Army Couple Accused of Stealing $2 Million of Gear, Including a Sword and Weapons Parts<\/h3>\n


\nMilitary.com | By Steve Beynon<\/strong><\/p>\n

A husband and wife, both serving at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, are accused of using their positions there to steal, resell and keep more than $2 million worth of Army gear, including weapon parts, vehicles and a sword.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors claim that Chief Warrant Officer 3 Christopher Hammond, who serves with B Company, Group Support Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group, and his wife, Maj. Heather Hammond, carried out at least a four-year scheme ordering gear through official Army channels meant to supply units but diverting it to sell or use for themselves.<\/p>\n

The pair were arrested Monday and are awaiting a date for their next court appearance.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors say the pair jointly moved $1.8 million in profits through multiple USAA and Schwab Brokerage accounts, some of which were in Heather Hammond’s name.<\/p>\n

Between December 2018 and this past March, Christopher Hammond obtained lower and upper receivers, gun barrels, gun bolts and firing pins — which when combined can build a rifle, according to the charges. He also obtained scopes, gun cases and holsters.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
