FBI: Stolen Weapons Found in Lawrence
The weapons were stolen from a parked FBI vehicle in Andover.
A day after two guns were stolen from an FBI employee's emergency response vehicle, those weapons have been found at an undisclosed location in Lawrence, the FBI is reporting.
Authorities would not say how or where in Lawrence the weapons were found, just that they were found some time in the early hours Friday morning.
The Boston Division of the FBI had released a statement Thursday asking for help locating two guns -- a Colt M16-A1 Rifle and an HS Precision Pro-Series 2000 Sniper Rifle -- which were stolen from an FBI vehicle parked overnight at a house in Andover. It was a take-home vehicle, and other vehicles were broken into at nearby homes as well.
The FBI also offered a $20,000 reward for information leading to the recovery of those weapons.
