Feds: Chinese man sought stolen military gear
A Chinese man suspected of procuring stolen military equipment is facing a smuggling charge after, investigators say, he tried to buy a $20,000 pair of military night vision goggles from an undercover agent in San Diego.

Yang Xin, a Chinese resident from the Guizhou(貴洲) province who also goes by the alias Troy Shin, was indicted by a San Diego federal grand jury last week with violating arms trafficking laws.

There is no indication who Xin is suspected of working for, but experts say the types of sophisticated, sensitive military-grade equipment he is accused of seeking are highly prized by foreign governments, criminal organizations and in war zones.

“These are some of the best equipment made in the world, and whether it’s an arms dealer or China, it’s a serious issue,” said Michael Wessel, a member of the United States-China Economic and Security Review Commission, a group created by Congress to monitor relations between the nations.

The investigation into Xin began in September 2014. A search of his email revealed that he’d obtained military equipment that had been part of a $1.7 million heist from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, according to the complaint.

The items Xin had purchased included 15 Advanced Target Pointer/Illuminator Aiming Lasers, also known as LA-5s, according to an affidavit filed by U.S. Homeland Security Investigations in San Diego. The laser is lightweight and attached to weapons for firing upon a target at night.
