The U.S. Military Is Stumped By A Stolen Box Of Armor-Piercing Grenades

The green, metal box was stuffed inside a bright pink pillowcase and stashed in the bushes behind Christopher Zachery's house. He hauled it out for a better look.

Stenciled on the box: "Cartridges for weapons." Inside were 30 armor-piercing grenades.

"I was scared," said Zachery, who runs a construction company. And confused. How did these high-powered explosives end up in his southwest Atlanta backyard? Where did they come from?

Investigators determined the waylaid grenades were last seen eight month prior on an ammunition train that rolled out from Florida. Someone had stolen them somewhere on the rails to Pennsylvania, another example in an Associated Press investigation that shows how the military's vast supply chain is susceptible to theft.

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — Military weapons including pistols and a medium machine gun have been lost or stolen from bases in Virginia.

An Associated Press investigation into firearms missing from the U.S. armed services shows at least 19 guns disappeared or were recovered in Virginia between 2010 and 2019.

Locations included two Navy destroyers in Norfolk and an installation in Arlington.
Police investigating after 2 teens shot, one fatally in Portsmouth over the weekend

A former Navy sonar technician was a suspect when the USS Laboon reported a missing machine gun in 2011, according to Naval Criminal Investigative Service files obtained by AP, but investigators lacked evidence. NCIS reopened the case in 2013 after a tip, searching the former technician’s home and finding four Navy computers — but no weapons. The case was closed without prosecution.
