The three Afghanistan National Army soldiers who went missing Saturday night from a Regional Cooperation training exercise at Camp Edwards in Sandwich were apparently doing more than just sightseeing before local and federal officials began searching for them.

Prior to the men being found in Buffalo, N.Y., as they were trying to cross the Canadian border, the three had enough time to visit a strip club in Mashpee, according to The Boston Globe.

Mashpee Police Chief Rodney Collins said the three men were at Zachary’s Pub in his town the day before they vanished. The self-described “gentlemen’s club’’ features “all-nude exotic entertainment’’ as well as billiards, Keno, and $4 draft beer. Collins said the department had heard no complaints about the men. “I assume they were looking at naked women, but that’s pure speculation,’’ Collins said.

The Globe goes on to report that it remains unclear why the men were traveling north in the first place. Federal and military officials maintained during the search that the men were never considered a threat to the public.
