ROY, Utah — Police are searching for thieves who broke into the Utah storage unit of an airman serving in Afghanistan and took most of his personal belongings.

Among other items, thieves took wedding rings, photographs, custom snowboard equipment and an ATV from the Alpine Storage unit of Jeff LaPoint on May 5.

His former wife, Jana LaPoint, told KTVX-TV that storage unit managers called her last weekend to inform her of the theft. She estimates the value of the stolen items at up to $12,000.
