237 firearms stolen from cars in Charlotte over 6 months

Post by Bruenor »

A car is not a gun safe.. One city in 6 months, that's a lot of firearms.

"What was one of the first things police asked you when they got on the scene?" asked NBC Charlotte's Xavier Walton.

"So I am a gun owner and he asked me if my gun was in the car," said Choiniere.

CMPD says it happens every day in parking lots around town. As of June 1, there were 237 guns stolen out of cars in Charlotte this year.

"They're going to get the electronics or whatever they can visibly see and then they go into the glove box or center console or the side panel and there lays a gun," said Officer Jonathan Frisk, a CMPD crime prevention specialist.

I have to wonder how many of those thefts occurred in parking lots for gun free zones.
