Authorities are searching for weapons taken from the US Army Reserve Center in Worcester during a break-in this weekend, according to the FBI.

FBI officials did not specify what was taken, or what the motivations for the theft may have been, but said they are making every effort to secure the items’ return.
“There is no indication that these missing weapons are connected to any kind of terrorism threat whatsoever,” agency spokeswoman Kristen Setera said in a statement. “Nevertheless, every effort will be made to recover these weapons immediately.”

The weapons have been entered into the National Crime Information Center, an online database that is searchable by law enforcement agencies.

The FBI said it is collaborating with Massachusetts State Police and Worcester Police to recover the weapons.

The facility, known as the Lincoln Stoddard Army Reserve Center, is located on Lake Avenue and was built in 1953. It includes a recruiting office and is the meeting place of the Worcester Cadet Squadron.
