    Stolen Winchester 9mm Ammunition

    Three freight line shipping containers were robbed of Winchester ammunition in in early September, according to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

    The bureau said it is searching for two vehicles in connection with the thefts at the freight stations in Morrisville, Kernersville and Wilmington.

    One of the vehicles is reportedly a gray or silver four-door car and the other is a blue, light gray or silver SUV, according to ATF.

    The real heist would be 3 containers of primer's if its money they want.

    So not much ammo if it fits in a 4 door and an suv. Slow day at ATF?

    If they count single rounds it sounds like a lot and makes for 'click bait'.

    I'm sure more is stolen "internally" everyday than this.
    Maybe their reporting this to cover up "missing" ammo.

    Inside job, someone knew where the ammo was going and the routes. Three containers on the same day defies coincidence.

    It made Fox News but no mention of how much ammo. Slow Joe Biden and the Feds would certainly want everyone to know so the anti's can panic, scream for more gun control.

    Obviously an extreme right militia group. ATF wants there 9mm back.

    Stealing a car full of ammo is small potatoes.

    https://www.latimes.com/business/sto...s-brinks-heist

    One of the biggest jewelry heists ever happened earlier this year as the goods were being shipped from show to show. $8.7 million in declared goods were taken and the jewelers are saying the actual loses could equal up to $100 million.

    “One of the vehicles is reportedly a gray or silver four-door car and the other is a blue, light gray or silver SUV, according to ATF.”

    I’ll keep an eye peeled.

    I looked online today hoping to find a reliable source about this theft, good luck with that. One account has it that while 3 containers were broken into, only one was missing any ammunition. As best as they could tell, a major haul of 4 cases may have been taken from it. Should be interesting to see if there is any follow up on the real count. A 4 door sedan and an SUV? That took some serious thought and planning for a haul that huge.
