Footage of a March 1 gun store robbery in southwest Houston has been released, showing the moment at least 10 suspects raided the store and escaped with at least 50 weapons.
Houston police say as many as 10 suspects raided the store and got away with at least 50 weapons. The amount of weapons is not counting those they dropped in their haste to get out before police arrived.
Jeff McShan, a spokesman with the Harris County District Attorney’s Office and Crime Stoppers, says three of the suspects have been arrested. ATF sources confirm they have good leads and they’re following up on them.
A spokesperson with the ATF tells Eyewitness News some of the stolen weapons also have been recovered but did not provide an exact number.
The store, located on South Wilcrest, was burglarized around 4:30am. Total time for the burglary was about two minutes.
A large pickup truck rammed a plate glass window. A chain was used to pull out burglar bars.
Upon entering the building, they ransacked the store causing extensive damage to the property. The suspects used a hammer to break the glass cases that stored the handgun and took several rifles off the rack. The suspects left this location with the firearms and exchanged vehicles approximately one block away. The suspect fled the second location in an unknown direction of travel, in a possible late model Chevrolet Traverse SUV.
Video surveillance cameras captured images of the suspects wearing a variety of different clothing including hooded sweatshirt, masks and gloves to conceal their identities.
