Detectors at the exit alarmed when he was leaving, with the two Noveske AR's hidden under a long coat he was carrying folded under his arm. Now who has a big coat with them in the heat of summer? Anyway, he still managed to escape, as he ran out the store with the two Noveskes, and got away. The two rifles were used guns, and had been on display in the store's GUN LIBRARY, where rare and expensive used arms are put on display.
However, the story gets even worse. A review of security camera footage from the store caught him stealing two other rifles, one each on two other occasions, totally undetected. He stole a Century Arms assault rifle, valued at $1,000, on June 23; and also a Lantac Raven assault rifle, valued at $2,500, on June 17. All were stolen from the GUN LIBRARY area, where no store staff are stationed.
Here are photos from the Springfield Police Department of the stolen rifles. Anyone that spots these guns being offered for sale is asked to call Detective Tony Delcastillo at Springfield Police at 541-726-3721.
Here is a photo taken from security camera footage, showing how the thief made off with the rifles hidden under a coat:
Here are some news reports, with more detailed info about these gun thefts.
I wonder if Cabela's will review their store's security precautions and procedures?
