Last week, two men were arrested for allegedly stealing a deputy’s firearm from a bathroom at a RaceTrac gas station in Oviedo, Florida.

On August 29, around 5:30 p.m., a Seminole County Sheriff’s Office deputy stopped at the RaceTrac gas station to use the bathroom. While inside, the deputy placed his vest on the ground and his gun belt over the handicapped railing in the stall. After finishing, the deputy put his vest and gun belt back on and left to respond to another call.

Not long after, the deputy realized his firearm was missing. He returned to the gas station to look for it and wondered if someone might have taken it while he was in the stall. When surveillance footage was reviewed, it showed that the deputy was alone in the bathroom. After he left, two men went into the bathroom, and when they exited, one of them appeared to have a noticeable bulge in his waistband. It was believed he had taken the deputy’s missing gun.
