Lowell Has a Rifle, Salem Has Handguns

Don't ask me what's up with people finding guns all over the place this week.

A day after Lowell Police recovered a Bushmaster AR-15 semi-automatic rifle and 119 rounds of ammunition in a duffel bag from an alley off Prescott Street, a man in Salem, N.H., found another duffel bag full of guns in a trash container not far from the mall.

In Salem, the seven handguns were found in a trash container outside an apartment building at 99 Cluff Crossing Road, not far from the Rockingham Mall, police say. There were also a few boxes of ammunition, as you can see here.

Here's a link to a larger version if you want to see in detail

It looks like just .22 ammo, but the gun in the upper left is the only one that looks like a .22 to me. Police didn't release the make and caliber of all the gun's though, so I can't be sure.

The guns were in the duffel bag that appears below, and found in the trash container by a guy about 3:40 p.m., on Tuesday.

Police soon discovered the guns had been stolen earlier this month from Barons Trading Post in Hartford, Vermont, and Salem Police are working with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to determine who took them and how they ended up in Salem so close to the mall.
Anyone with information is asked to call Salem Police at (603) 893-1911, or the Southern New Hampshire Crimeline at (603) 893-6600.
