About 400 used bulletproof vests that were supposed to be handed over to Ukraine were stolen overnight from a non-profit organization in Manhattan, police said on March 16. The vests were stored at 203 Second Ave. near 12th Street in East Village. They were going to be sent to a country that Russian troops have been storming since February 24, reports New York Post.
Someone called 911 after they found robbery at 9:19 am, as the police said.
When the cops arrived, they found that someone had broken into the building.

The vests were stored in the hallway and were "visible to the public," a police source said.
The used vests were donated by the Suffolk County Sheriff's Office, a police source said. They said they were studying the report.
The address in Manhattan includes the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America and Ukrainian National Women's League of America.
The police officer said the used vests were donated by the Suffolk County Sheriff's Office.
But Suffolk County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Vicki DiStefano said her agency could not confirm whether the vests they donated were taken.
