Robbers use truck to break open gun store in Texas and steal 50 weapons
- 8 years ago
HOUSTON — Now this is what you call a "brazen" robbery. At about 4:30 a.m on Tuesday, March 1, 2016, a pickup truck arrived at a gun store on South Wilcrest Drive in Houston, Texas. The suspects attached a chain from the truck to the store's door and after a couple of good tugs from the truck, the doors flew open and as many as 10 robbers rushed inside.
Snatching up expensive rifles first, the thieves moved on to handguns. About 50 weapons were taken, police say.
Surveillance video posted to LiveLeak shows angles from several cameras in the Carter's Country gun store and it's clear from the footage that the robbers knew what they were looking for.
The store is an "FFL" or Federal Firearms Licensee, which means it's authorized to conduct interstate gun sales. After police and Crime Stoppers urged the public to provide tips, the ATF agents arrested three suspects on Thursday, and it likely won't be long before the rest of the robbers are rounded up as well.
These dudes were pretty good at yanking off bars, but now they'll get to enjoy some time behind them.
