On Saturday, November 13th, Galesburg Police met with a female individual at the Public Safety Building who reported a missing firearm. The victim said she keeps the unloaded Canik 9mm handgun in the trunk of her car which is kept parked in front of her residence on Iowa Avenue. The victim didn’t want to name any possible suspects and told police she’d investigate the incident on her own despite the police’s advisement not to. The next day, three firearms were reported stolen from a vehicle on Home Boulevard. Officers met with a male individual who said sometime between 1:00 am and 7:00 am on Sunday someone broke into his Buick sedan and took a red duffel bag that contained a gray and black Taurus firearm, a black Glock 19, and a black SD 9mm firearm as well as a pair of pink Air Max shoes. The victim told officers the front driver-side window of his sedan had been “jimmied”, according to police reports. None of the firearms had ammunition with them and the red duffel bag also contained all the paperwork for the firearms. The victim was going to contact the manufacturers to get the proper paperwork. Both investigations are ongoing.
