Either the thieves got lucky or someone that works there was in on it

I'm gonna bet on "B", someone that works there was in on it!
I'm sure the perps waited for their NICS check to go through as "proceed"!!

I am too tired and lazy to Google it but this has happened many times with UPS. IIRC almost always has been an inside job. I don't recall ever seeing this with FedEx in the news.

UPS . . . the same company that makes us ship our pistols by overnight because it's regular service is not trustworthy, and still loses our crap.

And Chicago says all of the guns usedthere by their gang banging chimps are from neighboring sates with lax gun laws.
Somebody made some extra cash.

Sources: 364 guns stolen in Memphis intercepted on way to Chicago
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Approximately 364 of the guns stolen from an UPS facility in Memphis have been recovered en route to Chicago.




ATF agents are still looking for one of the suspects, 24-year-old Roland Jackson, and offered a reward up to $5,000 for information leading to his arrest and conviction. Taveyan Turnbo, 18, is in custody.

According to a federal criminal complaint, the UPS facility received a shipment from the Ruger factory in North Carolina on Sept. 28. The 16 pallets of firearms were scheduled to leave two days later for Dallas, Texas.
Before they could be shipped, two men entered the Brooks Road facility in Memphis, loaded three pallets into a U-Haul van and sped away.

Authorities said there were roughly 367 guns in those pallets. All of the weapons were either .22 caliber or .380 caliber firearms, authorities said.

On Sunday, law enforcement in Midlothian, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, were called to a store after someone reported suspicious activity in a Walgreens parking lot.

just last year, a dozen guns headed to a store in Louisiana were taken from the same UPS facility. And a WREG investigation in 2016 found they’re often the result of inside jobs

One would hope that whoever called the police about the suspicious activity, leading to the recovery of the guns, will get the measly $5,000 reward.

Sounds like a couple of misguided "yoots"! Perhaps they missed the basketball evenings at the local rec center!!
