AR-15 stolen from unmarked Ramsey County squad car [View all]
AR-15 stolen from unmarked Ramsey County squad car
Police are investigating after someone broke into a locked Ramsey County sheriff’s office vehicle and stole an AR-15 rifle in St. Louis Park.
St. Louis Park police responded to the reported theft in a third-floor parking ramp at 1600 Utica Ave. on Friday, Jan. 6, at 7:30 p.m.
Ramsey County Sheriff’s Deputy Richard Clark, who was on duty and had been attending a work-related class in the building, told police he’d parked an unmarked sheriff’s office car in the ramp at 12:30 p.m. and found it had been broken into when he returned about 7:30 p.m., according to the sheriff’s office and Jacqueline Larson, St. Louis Park communications manager.
Someone had pried out the front driver side door handle to get into the car. Several items were reported missing, including a department-issued AR-15 rifle with a loaded magazine that had been pried from its secured locked rifle mount. The rifle mount was severely damaged in the process, Larson said. An additional rifle magazine and 9mm handgun magazine were also stolen.
