Officers from the Mount Pleasant Police Department are currently investigating the theft of a semi-automatic 9 mm handgun.

The handgun was allegedly stolen out of a locked Ford Taurus when it was broken into at 4:14 p.m. Oct. 5 in the parking lot of Wayside Central, 2000 S. Mission St.

Cash was also stolen from the vehicle.

No suspects have been identified yet, said Mount Pleasant Police Public Information Officer Jeff Browne.

“It’s always a concern of ours when any kind of weapon is stolen,” Browne said. “Not only could the weapon be used for some sort of crime in our community, but that weapon could be utilized in a crime in any other community as well. You just don’t know what somebody’s going to do with it.”
