It’s certainly not the first time a federal agent in Washington has had a gun stolen from a car. Still, at this juncture, certainly the Secret Service would prefer to avoid any bad publicity. Unfortunately, this sort of thing happens.
CNN reports that a Secret Service agent’s gun, badge, radio, handcuffs and flash drive were stolen from his personal car during the day Monday near the agency’s headquarters in Washington, according to a police report and sources briefed on the incident. The car had been parked on G Place NW in downtown D.C. around 4 p.m. when the incident happened.
According to CNN, a police report lists the stolen items: A black Sig Sauer handgun, an APX6000 radio, handcuffs, a USB flash drive, a black Patagonia bag and a Secret Service badge, number 1266.
