Arlington, Virginia - An American military contractor was sentenced Tuesday to 51 months in prison for her role in a theft ring on a military installation in Kandahar, Afghanistan.
Varita V. Quincy, 35, of Snellville, Georgia pleaded guilty on October 13, 2020, to one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States and commit theft of property of value to the United States and one count of making false statements. According to court documents, Quincy admitted that, between April 2015 and July 2015, she and others conspired to and did steal property of value to the United States including generators, a truck, and other items worth over $150,000. Larry Green, one of her co-conspirators, negotiated the sale of the stolen property with a third-country national middleman, who in turn facilitated the sale of the items to unknown persons in Kandahar.
