An audit of the Nebraska State Patrol has shown the agency has lost track of laptop computers, sophisticated forensic-investigation equipment, shotguns and other items.

The review of the patrol by State Auditor Mike Foley released Thursday shows it couldn't locate 105 items with a combined cost of more than $696,000.

Foley wrote that his office was able to find two of four missing items it searched for, but that it found two of the missing items had been sold.

He questioned how the agency could argue it needs money for equipment when it doesn't know what it already has.

Patrol spokeswoman Deb Collins said the finding highlighted a deficiency in the agency of not being able to account for some property.
