BOSTON (AP) — A former Army reservist out on bail on a child rape charge broke into a Massachusetts armory last weekend and stole 16 guns, the FBI said Thursday, and he got caught because he was wearing a GPS monitoring bracelet.

James Walker Morales, 34, of Cambridge, was arrested Wednesday on Long Island, New York. He's scheduled to make an appearance in federal court on Friday, according to the FBI.

Six M4 assault rifles and 10 Sig Sauer M11 handguns were stolen from the Lincoln Stoddard Army Reserve Center in Worcester last weekend. Surveillance video from a nearby business shows a man making several trips between the reserve center and a vehicle parked nearby over a six-hour period Saturday night into Sunday morning. On several occasions, he can be seen carrying duffel bags.

The FBI has said that the theft is not related to terrorism, but officials did not disclose a possible motive.

2. He did this AGAIN?

He just did the same thing about a week ago!

Something should really be done about this person.

3. i think it's the same crime....

They just caught him.

He's probably one of those sovereign nutjobs who thinks he can just make up an Omnipotent title and that the government doesn't own anything, it all belongs to him.

So all hail the grand chief of weapons and arsenals!

4. Surveillance video from a near business & he was there 6 hours. No alarm systems on the guns?

5. Unbelievable! Let me see if I understand ......

There's so much 'wrong' with this. He breaks into an armory. There are usually weapons stored in armory's and they didn't have movement sensor alarms nor guards? Isn't this a military installation? He worked 6 hrs in and out but not one single alarm went off? His electronic monitoring bracelet placed him "directly inside" the facility; begging me to ask who the hell was monitoring his monitoring device?? Our government wants us to feel safe because .... why?
