Theft

Incident Date

Address

Scranton Court

Details

     In the past week three handguns have been stolen from parked vehicles in the MPD's West District. They are now in the hands of criminals.  
     A Scranton Court resident reported a weapon missing yesterday, indicating their pickup truck had been inadvertently left unlocked. A Sayner Court homeowner reported a similar crime Wednesday, and last weekend a victim on Stonebridge Drive said a Berretta 9mm was stolen from a glovebox after he left his car unlocked.
     The MPD's preference would be to have people keep weapons in their locked homes.
