Three US Marine officers are investigated after a night out in Colombia’s capital Bogota ended in “local women” stealing the marines’ computers containing classified information, according to newspaper The Miami Herald.

The newspaper said it had obtained a report on the investigation against a colonel and two majors, who apparently were drugged and robbed after a pub crawl in Bogota.

According to this report, the three officers face “appropriate administrative or judicial proceedings” and could be charged with “conduct unbecoming an officer” at least.
