>>> growing out rage over a lockdown that started last wednesday at a giant military base near tacoma, washington. about 100 military members are confined. they can only go to the barracks and the dining hall . the reason, the lockdown was ordered after sensitive military equipment went missing. now some soldiers are demanding that this lockdown be lifted and they be allowed to see their families. i mentioned this started in the middle of last week. it's now making news. you have some vets saying this is unfair. what kind of equipment went missing and why would it end with this lockdown?
>> reporter: it was discovered between christmas and new years when somebody noticed that the locks had been changed on the wes locker and it was an unauthorized change of locks. somebody thought this is very suspicious. they took an inventory and found that some high-tech lasers, night scopes and rifle scopes had been stolen. there's no believe that espionage is involved. they think it was a theft for profit and quite a profit it would be. this stuff is valued at some $650,000. it seems that army investigators were getting no with. they put everybody on lockdown. it amounts to about 130 soldiers. each and every one of them will have to sit down and go through a polygraph examine until as one military official pult it, we find a culprit or somebody who knows something about the theft. the investigators really don't care about the outrage from the soldiers.
>> all right. we'll have much more on this. you have some very unhappy people, including a couple of veterans organizations who say the soldiers are being treated unfairly.
