BIG STORY S.S.

A LOCAL COMPANY RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT ALMOST 130 FIREARMS WERE STOLEN FROM THEIR STORAGE FACILITY IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA. SANTA CRUZ COUNTY-BASED MONTEREY BAY INVESTMENTS TOLD THE BUREAU OF ALCOHOL TOBACCO AND FIREARMS, THAT THE THEFTS PROBABLY OCCURRED OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS. REPORTEDLY THE ORIGINAL LOCKS ON THE MILLBRAE STORAGE SPACE WERE CUT (AND LEFT INSIDE THE UNIT), AND SIMILAR LOOKING ONES WERE THEN USED TO LOCK THE SPACE. THE THEFT OF THE FIREARMS IS BEING INVESTIGATED BY FEDERAL AGENTS.

AGENTS RECENTLY ARRESTED 4 PEOPLE IN CONNECTION WITH ANOTHER SIMILAR THEFT (IN WHICH EXPLOSIVES WERE STOLEN FROM A SAN MATEO COUNTY STORAGE FACILITY).
