A FedEx cargo handler stole 146 handguns from the Monmouth County facility where he worked and enlisted a friend to help sell the weapons at public housing projects in Jersey City and on the streets of Newark and East Orange, federal investigators said Tuesday.The scheme began to fall apart when frustrated residents complained to Jersey City police, who then used a sting operation to capture the suspects, authorities said.Federal agents are now trying to trace dozens of the stolen weapons, many of which they said were sold for between $300 and $500 each or traded for drugs.
They were paid Bloomberg plants (OK, it was worth a shot)Goes to show all this reliance on FedEx and UPS isn't all that it's cracked up to be. Boogles the mind to think that it's cheaper for the government to send a CLASSIFIED package FedEx than Defense Courier. It doesn't take a genius to figure out which boxes are guns or other sensitive items.
All of this in NJ...thank God we've got such strict gun laws or some of them might have gotten into the wrong hands....oh....ooops!
