2009 Robbery
On the night between January 3 and 4 2009, the garrison was robbed by three masked and armed men. The robbers escaped in a stolen car with weapons, including M/95 rifles and 45 M/96 carbines, and ammunition from the armory. After an initial investigation recovered some of the weapons, 19 M/95 and 45 M/96 carbines along with other 38 assorted small arms remained unaccounted for.[2] On 22 November 2011 the police recovered the last of the stolen weapons.[3]
