Guns stolen from vehicle

Three firearms and ammunition were stolen from a vehicle in Penticton on Monday.  

At about 1:30 p.m. Monday Penticton RCMP received a report of firearms missing from a vehicle parked on the 700 block of Winnipeg St.

When firearms go missing it generally worries police because they have then illegally and unsafely entered the community, according to Penticton RCMP.

"Obviously they were obtained through the commission of a crime because someone broke in and stole them," Cpl. Don Wrigglesworth said.

The Smith and Wesson Revolver, Winchester 30-30 and a 270 Weatherby Magnum all had trigger locks on them when they went missing.

The matter remains under investigation.
