The two men who were attempting to sell two stolen copies of HBP were charged yesterday with firearms offenses and handling the stolen books, Reuters reports. (There is also a video report at that link. Thanks to Corey and Mike!)
The two men are from Kettering; according to police they are a 37-year-old who is charged with possession of an offensive weapon and handling a stolen book, and a 19-year-old charged with the theft of the book and possession of an imitation firearm intending to cause fear of violence.”
