Surveillance video from inside the store shows one of the three people breaking open the store’s front door. All three funnel in and begin taking firearms off the walls and items from store cabinets.
Owner of AC Firearms, Adam Bennett says 14 guns were taken, but no bullets or magazines.
“It’s frustrating, you know, to try to do something like this, put a lot of money and time into this,” Bennett said.
Bennett believes, based on how quickly the thieves were able to work, that he had been targeted.
“It was probably somebody who’s come in here at least once before,” Bennett said. “Anything that catches the eye, that could probably be sold quick and easy, that’s what they took.”
Kettering Police are asking anyone who lives in the area of the store and has surveillance cameras to review your footage during the time of the break-in to see if you see anything that could be related, such as the suspect or their vehicle.
Police said the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives is assisting with the investigation.
Anyone with any information about the break-in is asked to contact Detective Sgt. Vince Mason at (937)296-2595, reference report #25-016365.
