In a brazen act of theft, three Humvees and a substantial amount of military equipment were stolen from an Army Reserve Center in Tustin, California. The incident, which occurred sometime between 8 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. on Wednesday, involved unauthorized entry into a storage warehouse at the facility. Tustin police reported that the perpetrators bypassed multiple storage locker locks, making off with a significant cache of gear. An attempt to breach the uniform storage area proved unsuccessful.
The thieves didn't stop there. They cut through a perimeter fence to access a military vehicle parking lot, where the three Humvees were parked. Among the stolen items were one armored Humvee, two soft-top Humvees, eight vehicle-mounted machine gun mounts, seven freestanding machine gun tripods, 40 pairs of binoculars, 18 bayonets, and various medical supplies.
The Army has confirmed that, to their knowledge, no weapons or ammunition were missing. Authorities are actively investigating the incident and urge anyone with information to contact law enforcement.
