Pony Express Firearms break-in in Parker CO 10/29

[Tremek]

Saw this posted on Nextdoor - this is the gun shop right off of Parker Rd. & Main St. on the SE corner where the McDonalds, Wells Fargo, and Goodwill is:

"On October 29, 2016, shortly after midnight, Parker Police officers responded to a glass break alarm and discovered a burglary at Pony Express Firearms (10970 S Parker Rd). An unknown number of suspects broke the front glass windows of the store and reached through metal bars to grab two (2) AK-47 rifles, one (1) AR-15 Rifle and one (1) shotgun.

We do not have any description of suspects or vehicle at this time. Detectives are working on any possible video surveillance in the area, but none has been found at this time that provides any leads in this case.

A bulletin was sent to local law enforcement. If anyone has information, we ask them to call Parker Police Detective Gary Gerlach at 303-805-6535, or the Parker Police main number at 303-841-9800.

This is an active and ongoing investigation."

First place I thought to look for more info was this board. Not sure if they'll release more info but 4 long guns on the loose in the hands of scumbags is not a good thing.

4 guns stolen after smash-and-grab robbery at Parker gun store

http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news...rker-gun-store

The suspect or suspects broke the glass at Pony Express Firearms in the area of Mainstreet and South Parker Road just after midnight Saturday and reached through metal bars to take the firearms, according to Parker Police Commander Chris Peters.

The robber or robbers took two AK-47s, one AR-15 rifle and one shotgun.

"It's concerning that these guns are out in the public and in the hands of criminals," Peters told Denver7. "It's concerning that it was so easy to grab them as well. The security measures -- yes, there's bars on the windows but to just be able to reach in and grab these and take them in such a quick time, that's concerning as well," he said.

Grabbed em' right by the pistol grip, no doubt.

Last time we did this it was revealed labor cost was too high to lock up weapons overnight. And that employees would scratch/damage them.

Is it too much to ask that the Weapons of War Democrats want to ban at least not be within arms length?

I dup'd Tremek.

That's what I get for taking my time to be snarky. Please lock/combine.

Snarky is what humanity flows on. Preach it.

Sorry if it's off-topic, but didn't this store have a different name some years back?

Thanks for the sanity check. Bought a used G 19 from them as RMG&A.

Been there before, good guys. Thieves are shitbags, I can't say that enough.

I hope they catch those dbags. That being said, it befuddles me that a gun store doesn't lock its highest $$$ merchandise in a safe after hours. I have a safe with my guns in them for safety and security. Why not a gun store?
