Have you heard about the weapons stolen from the Army reserve center in Massachusetts?

Not to get in the weeds of security of weapons, but one does not simply "break in" to a weapons vault. It has a gigantic steel door wired with an alarm that will alert law enforcement if opened without a code. After that, weapons are in a cage and locked in heavy racks.
Further, if you were breaking in to take weapons, you wouldn't just abscond with a couple. You'd try to get as many as you could carry.

This smells like either an inside job, where the culprit will be identified very easily, or a case of non-accountability after use, where the commander and armorer at minimum will fry.

We drilled this weekend and our Reserve Center Career Counselor also covers the Reserve Center in Worcester. She was there Saturday afternoon and the center was not vacated until 1800. By 0600 the next morning when everyone returned, they found that someone had cut through the roof of the building housing the arms room and that they also cut through the roof/ceiling of the arms room and did get away with an undisclosed number of weapons. FBI was on scene within 30 minutes. There was also evidence that whoever broke in also attempted to cover their tracks with a failed attempt to blow up the vault... I'll be glad to be corrected by anyone from Worcester who was there as a witness. Sounds premeditated, planned, and executed well. But until they are caught, we'll never know.

We also had an incident at our Reserve Center at the beginning of the summer where several suspicious, middle eastern men were found walking the perimeter of the building during the week. Police were notified and these men stated that they were just trying to find the recruiting center, which doesn't exist at our Reserve Center.... OPSEC needs to be real and practiced. No one knows what will happen next.

SSgt Alex Robinson sounds like whom ever did did travesty, if it was an inside job is, threatening National Security and will be a felon when convicted of this malicious crime.

SSgt Alex Robinson I saw this on the news last night as well.
This is both a weapons stealing and an terrorist attack.
They could have much better weapons by robbing a gun store, they must be really desperate to hit a reserve/guard armory.
The weapons should have been in the alarmed vault. These alarms go to a national centralized alarm point. These vaults are not easy break in points, weapons are to be secured in the racks as well and the rack secured to the floor:
1) Vault does not meet standards and no alarm - FSO is in big trouble
2) Could be an insider job, the investigators will check each person on the access list and their homes.
3) There should be a recording that can be viewed just inside the vault
I hope they quickly catch these folks.

I had to do an investigation on some M-16s that come up missing from a NG Armory. The guns were "Red Tagged" for repair and then were "borrowed" to take to the range for some full auto fun. The SPC could not get them back into the vault because the supply SGT had the combo. Heads rolled over that one.

I would think it is safe to say this is also an inside job.

He's been caught!
