A continuing, avoidable problem – two more guns swiped from unlocked vehicles

RAPID CITY S.D. – Rapid City Police say two more guns have been stolen out what appears to be unlocked vehicles.

Monday, just before 4 p.m., a vehicle burglary was reported on the 3600 block of Sheridan Lake Road. In this crime, the burglar made away with a handgun, two loaded magazines and another 750 rounds of ammunition for the gun.

The person told police the vehicle was left unlocked.

Early Monday morning, another vehicle was burglarized; this time on the 6800 block of Cog Hill Lane. The victim says a handgun and several other items were stolen.

Police noted there was no forced entry into the vehicle.

Police say they can’t stress enough that firearms should not be left inside an unattended vehicle, let alone one that is unlocked.
