There will be no charges against the Calgary police officer who had his rifle stolen from his car.

Back on Saturday, Apr. 4, the off-duty officer went to a restaurant on Crowfoot Terrace NW, leaving his police-issued patrol rifle held in a case inside along with two magazines.

He was taking the gun home to clean, but someone had broken in and stolen it when he got back to the vehicle.

Calgary police’s professional standards section investigated, and the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team reviewed the investigation.

Edmonton Crown prosecutor’s office has recommended no charges be laid against the officer.
