Boston Police uniforms stolen ahead of marathon; FBI, Massachusetts cops offering $5K reward for suspects
2022-04-16
[FoxNews] Friday marked nine years since the Boston Marathon Bombing of 2013.

The FBI has joined Massachusetts law enforcement agencies in investigating the theft of Boston Police Department uniforms, which were stolen from a Weymouth business, just weeks before the city’s annual marathon is set to kick off.

Friday marked nine years since the Boston Marathon Bombing of 2013, when three people were killed and more than 260 were hurt. Ahead of Monday’s 126th Boston Marathon, Boston Police Superintendent-In-Chief Greg Long is urging attendees not to hesitate to report someone acting suspicious, even if they are dressed in a uniform.

The Weymouth Police Department announced earlier this week that it was working with the FBI in investigating the theft of several Boston Police Department uniforms that were stolen from a local uniform supply store.

Investigators believe the uniforms were stolen between 3:30 p.m. March 27 and 9:30 a.m. March 28, the department said Wednesday. Authorities are now offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading them to their suspects.

Monday will mark the first time the Boston Marathon will be held on its regularly scheduled Patriots Day date following postponements and changes as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

Approximately 30,000 people are set to run in the marathon, officials have said.

Long said there was no known credible threat to the race, but said spectators and runners could expect heavy security, bag checks, camera surveillance, police observation points and the presence of officers in plain clothes and in uniform.

#2  ^ Hmmm, so one would need an insider to know the color of the day, or be very observant...

Of course, Average Citizen will see the uniform and assume it is what it is.

#1  So Weymouth police said someone broke into Andrea’s Police and Fire Supply back in Late March and stole 4 uniforms, a leather jacket, and 1 bulletproof vest. NOTE: These NEW uniforms were issued less than a year ago.

SNIDE NOTE:
Beside the marathon, there are also Mid-Term BLOM/ANTI-FArt RIOTS & LOOTING Peaceful Protests & Wealth Redistribution sessions just around the corner.

IF Boston Police, are like most police plans I have seen. They will just add an extra identifier(s) like a special arm ban or extra large Special neck lanyard or Uniform attached ID to assigned staff.
