Undercover agents met with Francis and paid $4,300 in cash for a laser range finder in early February, which matched the serial number of one stolen from Fort Carson in late January.
Two Fort Carson soldiers and a third who was discharged last year have been arrested and accused of stealing military equipment that a fourth man, a civilian, allegedly sold on eBay.
A criminal complaint alleging three of the men stole Fort Carson property including two iRobots worth a combined $374,000 and dozens of pieces of body armor and other equipment was filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Denver.
Staff Sgt. Benjamin Cardwell and Sgt. Johnny Herrera, unit supply specialists, according to the complaint, and former soldier Todd Crow were arrested Wednesday after admitting to conspiring with Daniel Francis, a civilian who allegedly acted as a middleman to sell the stolen military goods, according to the complaint.
