Guns left by fleeing fugitive were stolen

The Liberty Lake Police Department solved a few gun theft cases with assistance from a helpful citizen recently.

A woman came into the police department on Feb. 24 with several firearms. She told police that they had been left at her home by her daughter, who is currently wanted by the FBI for crimes in Idaho and recently fled the state, said Police Chief Brian Asmus.

Police took the guns and discovered they had all been stolen. The weapons are being sent to police in the jurisdictions where they were taken.
