Assault Rifles Stolen From Massachusetts Armory

Someone stole more than a dozen guns from a facility in Worcester without setting off alarms.

BOSTON — The U.S. Army Reserve armory in Worcester, Massachusetts, was broken into Saturday night and more than a dozen guns were stolen, a law enforcement source told The Daily Beast.

Six M4 assault rifles, 10 pistols, and several long guns were taken from the armory, according to the source. The break-in was discovered Sunday morning. The armory’s alarms did not go off, according to the source, who added they may have been disabled due to continuing construction.

The FBI is investigating the break-in.

The missing weapons are now in a national database, FBI spokeswoman Kristen Setera said in a statement to The Daily Beast. The FBI is working in coordination with Worcester and state police, she added.

“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.

There are no suspects at this time.
