Eureka Police are investigating the theft of a gun from an unlocked car in the Six Flags’ parking lot, 4900 Six Flags Road. The victim said he thought he had locked his car doors using a key fob, but the doors were unlocked when he returned to the car, police reported.
The theft happened between about 5:30 p.m. and 8:10 p.m. June 18. The man said he had placed his .40-caliber Springfield Armory XD under the driver-side seat of his 2017 BMW Z3 before entering the amusement park, and when he returned to the car, the gun was missing, the report said.
Nothing else was reported stolen.
As of June 29, the gun had not been recovered, and no suspects had been identified, Lt. Tom Wille said. He asks anyone with information about the incident to call Eureka Police at 636-938-6600.
