The FBI says there is no link to terrorism and no public threat.

Oh, who didn't bust into the occasional Nat'l Guard armory and steal a bunch of machineguns as a harmless youthful prank?

I bet they really wanted the Beretta 92 pistols and took the M4 Colts as cover. Any PF members in the northeast better have an alibi.

Sounds like someone has been studying the gangsters of the 20's and 30's.

Sounds like an inside job. May very well be normal crooks / gang bangers though.

Reports are indicating that four M4s were taken along with ten M11's , must be a CID unit or someone sorta special if there were M11's....

Worcester ("Woostah") is just outside of Ft Devens, formerly the home of US Army SIGINT geeks and the CONUS home of 10th SF. FYI.

ETA: Come to think of it, reserve MI Geeks still do some school house training there, had a minion that is an analyst in the reserves and she went there for BNCOC, or whatever they call it now. (When I went, at Devens, it was BTC.)

Dumb crook alert. The news reported this afternoon, the repeat offender was wearing a court ordered electronic monitoring bracelet, which is how they were able to track his movements and subsequently caught him.

It was all the rage back in the day, but once they stopped keeping BAR's in armories a lot of the fun went out of it.
