– The owner of a Northeast Side gun shop says he is fed up with burglars who have targeted his business multiple times.
“They had taken some pry bars and grinders and tried to cut through the locks on the door,” DeWees said. On two prior occasions, he said, what appeared to be the same group of burglars managed to get inside the business and steal merchandise.He said this time, it appeared the crooks were not able to get beyond his metal security gate or steal anything.As a result of the earlier break-ins, DeWees said he has been working very closely with police to prevent any more burglaries.“We’ve had our cork in the water for a long time. And we finally, we got the big fish,” he said, happily.
The report says witnesses told police they saw two people break into the gun shop, then throw stolen firearms over a fence to other suspects.
