LITTLETON, Colo. (CBS4) – The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office is investigating after numerous guns were stolen from a gun shop in Littleton.

At approximately 3:45 a.m. Tuesday, suspects forced their way through the front doors of Colorado Gun Broker on West Bowles Avenue.

The suspects smashed glass cases and took 30 to 40 handguns, authorities say.

There is no suspect description, and the store’s security system was not working at the time.

OF COURSE THE SECURITY SYSTEM WASN'T WORKING... :shifty:
 
I wonder how long the security system wasn't working and who all knew. I always think it's shady when it goes down like that.
 
Thankfully guns don't kill people. Who knows, maybe the robber just wants to arm the citizenry, to prevent crimes and protect lives :rolleyes:

Smash & Grab Burglars Hit Gun Store In San Carlos
As the sheriff’s office and the ATF try to find the culprits, the owner of Impert & Smithers is trying to secure his business the best he can.

“If somebody would have the gall to do that, to drive a vehicle into a plate glass window, it’s a little nerve-racking,” Haas said.

Cameras off, break in steal guns in a prearranged help yourself heist, owner gets insurance money plus a little extra for making sure no security.

Those guns will be long out of state and sold by now.
 
And another one a few miles away.

In the last two nights, two gun stores in Littleton were burglarized and up to 60 guns stolen.

Federal investigators say the number of licensed gun stores being hit by thieves is growing nationwide.

Lisa Meiman, a spokesperson for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said these types of thefts are a priority.

“We saw 56 firearms stolen from licensed gun dealers in 2014, 121 in 2015, and now we’re at about 119, 120 or so in 2016 … and we’re only half way through the year,” she said.

Those numbers include the dozens of guns stolen in the past two days.

Colorado Gun Brokers on West Bowles Avenue was broken into Tuesday morning, and 30 guns were taken.

Little over 24 hours later, Triple J Armory on East County Line Road was also hit. Investigators say thieves got away with anywhere between 20 and 30 guns there.

Meiman says they are now looking for similarities between the two cases.

“We’re looking into a possible connection, however its way too soon to tell if they are connected,” she said.

The ATF is now working closely with local law enforcement to identify suspects and recover the guns. Meiman said almost all of these stolen firearms will end up on the black market.

“They may be trafficked overseas and sold that way, a lot of time they’re used for bartering so you may have the suspect sell it for drugs or some other type of currency. They almost always end up in crimes,” Meiman said.

Officials recommend gun dealers lock up their firearms in a safe after business hours.

Omg. Now a 13 year old kid was shot by one of these stolen guns.

DENVER (AP) -- Authorities say a handgun stolen from a suburban Denver gun store in June was used in the accidental shooting of a 13-year-old boy.

The Denver Post reports that police say the boy was shot in the leg on July 14 in an apartment in Edgewater, a small town just west of Denver. Police Chief John Mackey says the incident was "an accidental shooting between friends."

Investigators determined the weapon used in the shooting was stolen in one of two gun shop burglaries in Littleton on June 21 and June 22.

Twenty-nine handguns were taken from Colorado Gun Broker, while burglars got away with several firearms from Triple J Armory.

Edgewater and Littleton police are working with federal authorities on an ongoing investigation into the burglaries.
