Mysterious Crime Spree Targeted National Guard Equipment Stashes

A string Previously declared brakes in the Tennessee National Guard Armoris have been marked the latest series of protection violations as a result of the latest decline Military benefit Throughout the United States, new concerns about the weakness of the US arsenal for theft and intrusion.

A confidential memo of the Tennessee Fusion Center has been reviewed by four brakes in seven weeks in the Tennessee National Guard Armrize. In one case, thieves traveled with other tools with night vision goggles, laser target locars and thermal weapons sights. To others, the intruders violated the fence, spread the alarms and unlocked, and after which they gained access to the supply rooms discovered.

At least some brakes seem to indicate potential internal assistance. For example, in Tennessee Coventon proves that intruders can already know the location of a secure key control box. On other sites, the alarm and entry points were tried to bypass.

The memory, which was only intended for the use of law enforcement, does not indicate that any weapons were stolen; However, an anti -terrorist coordinator is quoted: “These events are not just because the stolen items are sensitive to nature, but not because of successful violations and some internal knowledge indicators for theft.”

Document, first received by the non -profit watchdog group Human propertyWas divided exclusively with wired.

Break-in is under active investigation and the Provest Marshall General of the US Army has attracted the attention of the Pentagon’s office. A veteran police source on Tuesday said Wired that the Federal Investigation Bureau was leading the investigation. The FBI has refused to confirm.

FBI Public Affairs Officer Elizabeth Clement-Webby said, “FBI policy investigations such as investigations will assist in investigations, such as looking for a missing child or trying to deny the investigation into trying to identify a bank robber.” “The exception that you are searching for is not fulfilling that exception, so it would not be appropriate to comment.”

The Pentagon mentions the questions to the National Guard. The watchman did not respond to any request for commenting.

Initially considered as isolated incidents, memory agents say “domestic violent extremists” or DVE, discussing the operations on the arsenal for weapons and gears, suspects discussing organized activities, which agents say “domestic violent extremist” or DVI about the year. Domestic detectives have consistently flagged the violent militia members and monitor the army as a soft target of ethnic inspired extremists.

“Although Dovevs has previously stolen some lower-level military gear, the FBI has not been able to identify any instances where any DVI raided an arsenal to successfully steal heavy military equipment,” it is written in the memo. “To prevent this national campaign, the FBI and DOD are increasing contact with local arsenal and military facilities to solve the current plots about the current plots to exploit the gaps and to prevent theft of military equipment.”

Between 2021 and 2021, the memo says at least four FBI issues are operating military facilities for heavy weapons, including .50-Caliber firearms and machine guns. The three confirmed the military background. One – a former guard member – detected the specific arsenal he served, when their protection describes how to best use it. It is unclear whether a complaint was made.

The extremist chatter quoted by the document echoes these ambitions. In early 2021, the militia-connected telegram proposed to evaluate the arsenal weakness with the help of sympathetic firefighters and wanted military or law enforcement employers for internal information. In another case, an active duty tank commander claimed that he could suppress an armor to transfer the weapon, while a former Air Force’s contractor and a guard to seize a secure land were raided.
