Three Humvees and various military equipment were taken after suspects cut through a fence and broke into storage lockers in Tustin, California.

Three Humvees, including one armored model, were stolen from the Tustin Army Reserve Center on January 8, 2025, between 8:00 p.m. and 11:30 p.m.
The thieves also took military gear, including 40 binoculars, 18 bayonets, eight machine gun vehicle mounts, seven machine gun tripods, and unspecified medical equipment.
Suspects gained access by cutting through a fence and breaking locks on multiple storage lockers; an attempt to access uniform storage was unsuccessful.
This marks the fourth Humvee theft from California military facilities in the past five years, with previous incidents occurring in Bell, Upland, and Santa Rosa.
