At VA Hospital, violations such as theft or destruction of government property are handled by the FBI.

• A. Assault and battery
• B. theft, destruction of gov. property
• C. Fraud and embezzlement
• D. Vandalism

Answer: (B)

When a crime targets government property, the case falls under federal jurisdiction, and the FBI is the lead agency for such offenses. A VA Hospital is a federal facility, so theft or destruction of government property is a federal crime and would be handled by the FBI. This is why the option that lists theft and destruction of government property best matches the statement.

The other options describe offenses that are typically handled at the local or state level (assault and battery, vandalism) or are not specifically crimes against government property. Fraud and embezzlement can be federal in some situations, but they don’t exemplify the particular focus on government-owned property in this context.
