I guess it takes this long to wade through all the cell phone traffic.

I googled the FB of them...it was interesting just saying........ looks like Keith Lowe was a truck driver ...guess you never know

That took a little planning.  If they had used walkie talkies, they would have gotten away with it.

When I first heard the story I figured some drunk kid stole a random UPS truck and would get caught trying to sell one of the guns. I was close 😄 Sounds like some good police work.

Eric and Derrick White were located at Redneck Heaven Restaurant & Bar in Arlington, Texas, .

that sentence right there is funny.  And guys don't just drive from Texas on a whim to rob a UPS truck in MO on a whim.   Someone who either hauled that load there or knew of it tipped them off and will sharing the punishment.

yep Keith Lowe was a truck driver bet it was his drop

I would think that the original driver would have been the first suapect.  More likely it was a friend of his that dropped the load and called him.  Even Texas Rednecks are smarter than that, aren't they?

Total take really would not have been worth it, 600 Berettas and some other stuff.  Divided between at least 5 people.  And they probably were not going to get retail for what they stole.  They'd be lucky if they netted $30,000 - $40,000 each, and that's assuming they found a buyer for the lot.

People who are willing to steal a shipment of guns and incur the attention of ATF, FBI and all the other acronyms are not well known for long term critical thinking.

Now they have released all the security measures taken place to avoid it, it will be easier for the next clowns.
