Subjects Burglarize FBI Vehicle in Washington, D.C.; Steal Weapons The FBI’s Washington Field Office is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the recovery of stolen weapons. On Sunday, July 10, 2016, between 12:00 a.m. and 2:00 a.m., unknown subjects burglarized an FBI special agent’s vehicle and removed a secured gun lock box which contained weapons and other equipment. The vehicle was parked in the H Street Corridor near H and Seventh Streets, N.E., in Washington, D.C. The lock box, which contained the items listed below, was fitted for authorized use in a government vehicle.
Glock-22 handgun .40 caliber, Serial Number RYE448
Rock River Arms Rifle, LAR-15, Serial Number CM156996
Motorola radio APX-7000, Serial Number 655CLT044
Holster for Glock-22 handgun
Asp collapsible baton
Oleoresin capsicum (OC) spray
Two boxes of .40 caliber ammunition
Hearing and eye protective gear
TruckVault gun lock box, black
The FBI, in partnership with the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C., is working to locate these weapons and remove them from the possession of the untrained individuals who may have them.
Area law enforcement agencies were quickly notified of the theft and are providing assistance to the FBI as needed. Anyone with information should call the FBI Washington Field Office at 202-278-2000 or visit tips.fbi.gov. Individuals can remain anonymous.
Below are images of the stolen LAR-15, Glock-22, Glock-22 holster, Motorola radio and TruckVault gun lock box:
1. Someone in the FBI allowed their vehicle to be broken into.
2. They can’t figure out who did it themselves and have to offer a reward.
We’re screwed.
Very odd indeed.
I assume it’s not easy to get into a locked box in a hurry.

Wouldn’t a “fitted” lock box be somehow bolted to the car?
Was an agent disciplined for losing the “secured” weapons?
“....of the untrained individuals who may have them”
Seems that already happened.

I think they just took the entire box. And that surprises me, as I would assume such a box would be securely bolted to the car.
Wrong year.
The only way you might avoid discipline...if say you used your service weapon (pistol) in a botched assasination and then threw it off a bridge...would be to claim it was stolen.
My guess it is the radio they want badly. 10K for that property is quite a price to pay IMO.

That’s the signpost up ahead - your next stop, the Twilight Zone.
July 2017?? Someone’s a lying here...Comey, incompetent idiot!
Pretty presumptuous of them to assume the individual is untrained - I’d bet they know pretty darn well how to use them.
‘...remove them from the possession of the untrained individuals...’
Sorry....2016.
McCabe needed an FBI ballistics match to shut DCPD up without any agents suddenly missing their sidearms.
LOL .. no sweat, I clicked on the link (article has 2016 date), and of course the future date is a typo. Small joke at your expense, and no doubt I open myself to the same thing many times a day.
Would a ‘fitted’ box be openable from inside the cabin - like a gas door or hood lever - so an agent could remotely open it in the trunk in a hurry?
Ammo for the Glock but none for the LAR-15. Why would an agent have a weapon without any ammo?
