JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Four sniper rifles, scopes and ammunition were
stolen from an FBI SWAT van parked outside a Baymeadows Road hotel
before dawn Sunday.
The FBI said the guns belonged to a team from Atlanta in Jacksonville
to provide extra security for the Super Bowl.
A spokesman for the FBI said authorities are concerned these weapons
are out on the street and are doing everything possible to try and
find whoever took them.
Four high-powered rifles with scopes and 80 rounds of 308 ammunition
were taken from the unmarked, locked van parked outside the Holiday
Inn at Baymeadows and Interstate 95. An agent parked the van at 3:45
a.m. and discovered a few hours later the padlock cut and van
burglarized.
An internal investigation is under way.
The FBI asks anyone with information that could help recover the
rifles to call their Jacksonville office at (904) 721-1211.
