Tuscaloosa Police Recover Likely Stolen Antique Guns, Seek Owner

Police in Tuscaloosa say they have come into possession of several antique firearms they believe were stolen - high-value, vintage items likely missing from someone's collection.

On Wednesday, a spokesperson for the Department said their Criminal Investigations Division found and recovered the weapons recently and are trying to reunite them with their rightful owners.

Collectors of antique firearms should check their belongings - gun safes, rifle cases and anywhere else they might have stored such valuables - and make sure their property is not missing.

The Police Department did not share specific details about the recovered firearms and said the actual owners will have to describe them or provide other proof of ownership before the guns could be turned back over to them.

If these high-value, antique firearms might belong to you, call the police department at 205-349-2121 and ask to speak to the Criminal Investigations Division, or CID for short.
