Police are investigating after someone broke into a locked Ramsey County sheriffs office vehicle and stole an AR-15 rifle in St. Louis Park.
St. Louis Park police responded to the reported theft in a third-floor parking ramp at 1600 Utica Ave. on Friday, Jan. 6, at 7:30 p.m.
Ramsey County Sheriffs Deputy Richard Clark, who was on duty and had been attending a work-related class in the building, told police hed parked an unmarked sheriffs office car in the ramp at 12:30 p.m. and found it had been broken into when he returned about 7:30 p.m., according to the sheriffs office and Jacqueline Larson, St. Louis Park communications manager.
Someone had pried out the front driver side door handle to get into the car. Several items were reported missing, including a department-issued AR-15 rifle with a loaded magazine that had been pried from its secured locked rifle mount. The rifle mount was severely damaged in the process, Larson said. An additional rifle magazine and 9mm handgun magazine were also stolen.
What sanctions should the department face for not properly securing their weapons...

(3,816 posts)except the "cannot be moved" is really hard to implement. If they REALLY wanted the guns, they could tow the whole car somewhere else, and oxy/acetelene them out.

(5,649 posts)So, secured is he wrong description. The weapon was hard to steal but was stolen because it wasn't really secured. Enough fun. You win if you want.

(3,816 posts)can bypass all sorts of "security". Like stealing the whole car. No offense intended.
