Of the three AR-15s and two shotguns that were stolen from northern California law enforcement vehicles last January four have been recovered and some of the alleged perps involved in the theft are now behind bars charged with federal crimes.
All but one of the guns stolen in recent months from Contra Costa County sheriff’s and California Highway Patrol cruisers have been recovered, and three men are facing federal charges in the case, authorities said Monday.
Three AR-15 semiautomatic rifles and two shotguns were stolen from law enforcement cruisers and then sold at least twice, according to investigators. Of the five recovered weapons, four belong to the sheriff’s office and one to the CHP. An AR-15 belonging to the sheriff’s office is still unaccounted for, and investigators believe it may have been disassembled for parts, said sheriff’s spokesman Jimmy Lee.
Daniel William Vess, 20, and Kao Kweng Saephan, 24, have pleaded not guilty in U.S. District Court in Oakland to possessing a Bushmaster AR-15 rifle that had been transported in interstate commerce. The weapon was made outside California.
