Two juveniles accused of stealing firearm, high-capacity magazine, ammunition, from Massachusetts State Police cruiser
Authorities have confirmed that two juvenile males have been arrested in connection with allegedly stealing a patrol rifle, high-capacity magazine and ammunition from a marked Massachusetts State Police cruiser on March 23.
Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan stated that due to an extensive, ongoing investigation by Massachusetts State Police led by Detectives assigned to the District Attorney’s Office, a 14-year-old has been charged with breaking and entering a vehicle in the nighttime to commit a felony, larceny of a firearm, possession of a firearm and conspiracy to commit a crime. A 15-year-old has been charged with breaking and entering a vehicle in the nighttime to commit a felony, larceny of a firearm and conspiracy to commit a crime.
During the overnight hours of March 23, the two juveniles allegedly entered the parking garage of an apartment complex on Overlook Ridge Drive in Malden. The two allegedly broke into the marked cruiser and the 14-year-old took possession of the rifle. That firearm and other stolen items were later recovered in a Malden home connected to the 15-year-old.
The Prosecutor assigned to this case is Jacob McCrindle. Massachusetts State Police Troop A and Massachusetts State Police Crime Scene Services Section assisted in the investigation.
The juveniles will be arraigned Tuesday in the Cambridge Juvenile Court. Ryan stated that all juvenile cases are closed to the public and no additional information can be released.

Hope the kids are not just given a slap on the wrist. I think the State Police need to change their policy about leaving their rifles in the cruisers over night. Obviously, their locks don’t work very well.

Funny how when the police have an AR15 it’s ” patrol rifle ” and when a civilian owns one it’s a ” weapon of war ” Is the trooper going to be charged with unsafe storage like the little people surely would? Of course not that was a rhetorical question. Rules for thee but not for me
