This video discusses the theft of over a million rounds of 9mm and 5.56 ammunition by a New Jersey Department of Corrections lieutenant between 2021 and 2024. The stolen ammunition, designated for police departments, was allegedly sold in small increments to gun stores in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia to avoid detection. The speaker highlights that much of this ammunition may be marked with infrared (IR) tracking tape, a measure implemented around 2023 to track logistics and prevent theft. Consumers who purchased ammunition in these states over the past few years are advised to check for and remove any IR tape to avoid potential legal issues, especially in states with ammunition registration laws.
