Southern District Commander Superintendent Paul Basham said the second of two police-issued Glock pistols stolen on August 14 has been found.

The first of the stolen Glocks had already been recovered soon after the incident.

Basham said the second firearm will be subject to a forensic examination as part of the ongoing investigation.
