DEA agents reported that two Sig Saur 40-caliber handguns and a Rueger 45-caliber handgun were missing from the three-story museum at 1 Times Square on Wednesday. The thefts, however, may have occurred as far back as Dec. 17, according to the police report. Two of the weapons were stolen from a simulated cocaine laboratory on the museum's first floor, and the other was taken from a re-created methamphetamine hotel cook room display on the second floor, said Bill Grant, a DEA spokesman. Grant said the guns, which have been disabled so they can't fire, were secured by screws and metal clasps to furniture in the displays. Police have secured videotapes from surveillance cameras in the museum and will be reviewing them, Grant said. - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
