HARVEY | Harvey Police are working with county and federal authorities to retrieve more than 20 weapons that were stolen from a trailer at the city's police firearms range.
The 21 weapons and several other items were discovered missing at roughly 9 a.m. Monday when officers responded to the office at the range at 153rd Street and Campbell Avenue.
The stolen weapons, which reported include automatic AR-15 rifles and MP5 submachine guns, were reported to the Illinois State Police, who issued a State-Wide Terrorism Report; the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; and all local police departments, police spokeswoman Sandra Alvarado said in a release.
In addition, the city sent a notice of the theft to all police departments in the United States through the Law Enforcement Agencies Data System, Alvarado said.
Alvarado said the case is considered "high priority," and that the city will be contacting the Illinois State Police and the Cook County Sheriff to ask for additional investigators to assist with this investigation.
The Department is asking anyone who may information to contact the Department at 708-210-5226.
