Treats 4 Our Troops Van Stolen

Thieves have made off with a van containing treats and care packages for overseas troops and those in the hospital.

The van was stolen from outside the home of Treats 4 Our Troops founder Yael Roggen in Arlington, Roggen told NBC4's Angie Goff.

"In addition to all our personal items, in the van was a lot of candy, some boxed up ready to go, and bags made up for Wounded Warriors that were going to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and Fort Belvoir," she told NBCWashington.com.

"We always have candy in the vehicle. There was activity in the neighborhood [Monday night]; they had gone through other vehicles, looking for change in the consoles.... [But] our car keys were in the house," Roggen said. "We have no idea how they made off with the van."
