2 Guns 'Donated' To Puyallup Thrift Store

PUYALLUP, WA - Someone in the Puyallup area is either trying to get rid of evidence wants the local thrift store to be more Second-Amendment friendly. Either way, the donation was not welcome.

Someone donated two handguns to the Value Village along River Road. An employee found the weapons, a Glock 36 and a Browning "pocket pistol," in one of the donation bins.

The Browning has part of its serial number removed (weird), but the Glock was not reported stolen or anything. Value Village gladly donated the weapons to the evidence bin at police headquarters.

Here are more incidents from the most recent Puyallup police blotter:
