Military weapons including assault rifles and heavy machine guns have been lost or stolen from bases in California.
An Associated Press investigation into firearms missing from the U.S. armed services shows at least 111 guns disappeared or were recovered in California between 2010 and 2019.
Locations included Army and Marines bases, and Navy ships.
One sailor told the Naval Criminal Investigative Service he stole a pistol from his ship’s armory as protection against former gang affiliates. Several military police stole automatic assault rifles from an Army base and sold several to a street gang.
The weapons are among at least 1,900 U.S. military firearms that AP learned were unaccounted for during the last decade.
