GULFPORT, MS Feb 25 2012 - Five people have been indicted on a federal charge of stealing military ordnance from a firing range.

A federal grand jury issued the indictment Thursday for Jack Bernell Wilson, Jimmy Lee Wilson, David Eugene Bangs, Lance Daniel Looney and Lucy Rebecca Saucier.

According to ATF the suspects cut through a barbed wire fence at Camp Shelby, stole explosives, brought them back to Gulfport, and turned them into scrap.

Looney reportedly took the scrap metal from Gulfport to Alabama and sold it to a Mobile recycling yard.

Looney got a three thousand dollar check for his last sale, and split that money with five other co-conspirators.

According to the affidavit, 51 complete or partial anti-tank rounds were found at the home on Saucier Lane in Gulfport after an explosion in January that seriously injured Dale Ray Johnson.
