• Six guns with a total value exceeding $2,500 have been stolen from a Mount Airy man as a result of a break-in involving a safecracking, according to city police reports.
The crime occurred Wednesday at the home of Kenneth Dwight Weyrauch on Fancy Gap Road, where entry was gained through an unsecured window. A gun safe was then pried open and firearms were removed, including a black and gray Smith and Wesson .22-caliber LR pistol and a black-tan Hi-Point 9mm rifle.
Also stole was a Heritage Rough Rider .22-caliber LR revolver with wooden grips; a Dickinson Arms 12-gauge shotgun; an SKS 7.62 rifle; and a Go Ballistic-9C AR-9, a gun combining characteristics of a pistol and rifle, with all four of those firearms described as black in color. Police records indicate that $100 in damage occurred to the safe.
