Soldiers' personal information stolen

ROSWELL, N.M. (KRQE) - New Mexico soldiers deploying to Kosovo now have one more thing to worry about after a computer containing personal information was stolen from the National Guard Headquarters in Santa Fe.

It contained deployment records and social security information for about 650 soldiers throughout the state. The computer was stolen sometime between Dec. 23-28. Soldiers affected have been sent a letter telling them to check with the social security administration, contact their banks and keep an eye on their credit.

A representative from the Guard says both the Army and State Police are investigating.
