Weapons
stolen from U.S. Army Reserve armory in Massachusetts, By Jessica Chasmar - The Washington Times - Monday, November 16, 2015
The FBI is continuing its search for
weapons stolen during a break-in late Saturday night at the United States Army
Reserve armory in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Officials confirmed Sunday afternoon
that several weapons are missing from the armory, but would not disclose the
number or types of weapons that were stolen, a local CBS News affiliate reported.
Sources told CBS that
six semi-automatic rifles and 10 pistols were stolen from a gun locker. A
separate report by The Daily Beast
cited a law enforcement source who said six M4 assault rifles, 10 pistols, and
several long guns were taken from the armory.
Kristen Setera,
spokeswoman for Boston Special Agent-in-Charge Harold H. Shaw, said the weapons
have been entered into NCIC, a national database, and federal, state and local
law enforcement have been alerted, the Boston Herald reported.
“We are collaborating
with Massachusetts State Police, Worcester Police and others to locate and
recover these weapons immediately,” Ms. Setera said. “There is no indication
that these missing weapons are connected to any kind of terrorism threat
whatsoever. Nevertheless, every effort will be made to recover these weapons
immediately.”
At a press conference
Sunday with the FBI, Gov. Charlie Baker urged the public to remain vigilant in
the wake of the terrorist attacks in Paris.
“The more opportunity
people have to rely on citizenry to serve as the eyes and ears, the more it
makes a difference,” he said, CBS reported. “These sorts of things people are
going to be chasing and investigating no matter what, and I think it’s
important for us to recognize that law enforcement will be collaborating,
communicating, cooperating across all levels of government.”
