Bag of Ammo Found in Dorchester Trash Can

[BostonVI]

Anyone missing some .38/.357?

INCIDENT #1: At about 11:30 PM on Monday, December 21, 2015, a concerned citizen walked into the District C-11 (Dorchester) Neighborhood Station with a trash bag filled with live rounds of ammunition.

The citizen stated he found the bag in a trash barrel near 17 Centervale Park and immediately brought them to the police station. Officers received the ammunition and submitted the 226 live rounds into evidence.

226 rounds. wow. they counted them. Slow night in Dorchester (ha!). Probably got thrown out cause they were dirty a$$ wadcutters and semi-wadcutters.

Evidence of what?

 

[CTpatriot]

Evidence of what?

evidence that someone in the department can count to 226.

Yup. Reloads found in the house from the 70's. Tossed discreetly in the trash to avoid trouble. I'm sure the residents of Dorchester know better than to involve the po's

Live rounds lol the Liberal mind never ceases to amaze.

Waste of perfectly good ammo. .357 Magnum is kind of scarce.

That's, like, at least 226 children they just saved.

probably a Boston cop, cleaning out his bottom dresser drawer.

Surprised the guy carrying the bag didn't get charged with improper storage and not having a license.

Would have made great stocking stuffers for the neighborhood youth. Noticed a few were spent, wonder if they are now spending overtime trying to match them up somehow to a crime.

 

[thorin]

Are a bunch of those spent shells, or what? A lot of them don't seem to have a projectile.

 

[robjax]

that sucks. What a waste. i don't have a gun that can use that but i would buy one.

Looks like there's some 10 mil in there

At least BPD haven't closed the area and started the investigation like their British brethren http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/ne..._56mm_ammunition_found_at_South_Gare__Redcar/

Is that like Hot ice?

My FIL is an estate lawyer, he is always finding crap like that.

 

[PaulR]

HEY!!!! That's against the law!! ammunition is supposed to be stored in it's original boxes! OMG OMG OMG

 

[TayNinh_66]

Teacher told the kid he couldn't bring the bag to show n tell

 

[73BLow]

Maybe they saw a "don't ever shoot someone else's reloads" post

Full wadcutters perhaps.

Not quite as silly as the time the closed an area when they found a replica of the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch (see the Book of Armaments for details on this device)

A lot of those are also wadcutters, the bullet is pushed most or nearly all the way back into the case.

.38 wadcutters
I have a gun that will ONLY shoot wadcutters, and reloading is the only way I know to get them. Man, I could have used those!

 

[drgrant]

Wadcutters are fun, too. They make nice clean holes in the target.

Then you get to reenact shitty, poorly written crime dramas from the 60s/70s/80s.

Detective Soandso: "This isn't just any bullet, jim.... he used.... WAD CUTTERS. " while holding the cartridge in your hand and looking at it menacingly...

Whenever a crime address is given in Dot, I look up how far it is from Geneva Ave.

Not at WalMart

You don't have a 357 ? [sad2] We can't be friends then...

They will most assuredly find a new home
