Weapons missing after over night break-in at army reserve armory in Mass.

(A similar action took place at a French military base in July of this year - Some are saying, supposedly with some of those weapons used in the November 13th Paris attacks linked back to that theft. The second link is an article in July about that break-in)

 

The FBI is investigating an overnight break-in at the Lincoln Stoddard Army Reserve Center in Worcester.

 

Officials confirmed Sunday afternoon that weapons are missing from the armory.

 

“Nothing at this point in time would tie this to any specific threat or anything else at this point,” Hank Shaw, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Boston division said at a press conference on Sunday.

 

Sources tell WBZ-TV six semi-automatic rifles and 10 pistols were stolen from a gun locker.

 

The missing weapons were entered into a national database, and federal, state, and local law enforcement have been alerted.

Just thinking out loud, why doesn't the government put tracking devices on things like these weapons that are stored in armories? Would it cost too much money? It would be easier to enter them in the databases as well as know exactly where they are wouldn't it?

Over these last few days France has found several ak47's and 1 rpg in the raids of suspected Islamic extremists.

 

The rpg stood out to me as a little concerning. Maybe it was stolen in the break in.

 

That list of weapons stole from Mass can be found in most of the closets of my fellow Texans.
