Crooks Steal Nearly 40 Firearms from Gun Shop in California

California has been the latest state to be the focus of chaos with smash-and-grab robberies. In recent reports, multiple crooks have stolen firearms from a Californian gun shop.

Smash-and-grab reports have been on the rise around the country. The Los Angeles Times reported that burglars smashed the front windows at Garden Grove Gun Shop and stole guns that were kept in a safe. The police received a tip from the owner of the gun shop after he saw an intruder on live surveillance video when the shop was closed.

Garden Grove Police Lt. Mario Martinez announced a statement Thursday morning. “Needless to say, it’s still a burglary, and it’s still a big concern of ours, obviously, with the amount of firearms that were taken.”

There is no evidence on whether the recent gun robbery has anything to do with the heightened smash-and-grabs in Los Angeles County. The site sells various types of guns like handguns, rifles, and shotguns.

The recent trend organized by groups is affecting stores like Nordstrom, T Mobile, Best Buy and many more.
