Criminals targeting gun stores are increasingly using a new tactic to gain entry; ramming cars or trucks into the building to bypass security measures like barred windows and reinforced doors.
There’ve been several such incidents reported around the country just this week, including a gun shop in Waldorf, Maryland that was hit early Tuesday morning.
The burglars drove a pickup truck into the doors of Fred’s Outdoors at 2895 Crain Highway about 1:20 a.m. The suspects used a tool to mangle the doors and bypassed several layers of security to get inside, the Charles County Sheriff’s Department said.
