Police: Firearms stolen from police cruiser recovered, 2 arrested

WASHINGTON — Two people were arrested after two stolen cars containing firearms — taken from a police car — were found at or near a Montgomery County school.

Mario G. Alvarado, 18, is accused of stealing a car and driving it to Albert Einstein High School in Kensington, Maryland, Monday. In the car, police found an AR-15 assault rifle and ammunition that had been stolen from a Rockville City police cruiser April 29.

Alvarado, 18, of Wheaton, Maryland, was arrested Monday and charged with possession of a deadly weapon on school property, possession of an assault weapon, possession of a stolen vehicle and other firearm related charges.

“We don’t know what Mr. Alvarado’s intention was for having an AR-15, but thankfully he didn’t try to use it in any type of way or threaten anybody with it,” said Montgomery County police spokesman Officer Rick Goodale.

The weapon should have never been stolen. They are required to be securely locked when not in use. Why was the gun all loosey goosey in the police vehicle?
