After a woman found a military certified rocket launcher in
her closet, several soldiers at JBLM are being investigated.

KING 5 reports the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) is investigating five JBLM
soldiers in the smuggling of a weapon, reportedly capable of
penetrating armor nearly one-foot thick, off the base.

The M72 light anti-tank weapon with a live rocket was
discovered after a deployed soldier’s girlfriend happened
upon it.

A JBLM spokesman says he’s unaware of the investigation.
