NEW CASTLE, Del. (CBS) – New Castle County police are looking for multiple burglars who allegedly used a flatbed truck to break into a gun store and steal an unknown amount of firearms.
The burglary happened just before 2 a.m. Monday at Miller’s Gun Center on West Jackson Avenue in New Castle, police said in a news release.
Police were responding to an alarm at Miller’s Gun Center when they said they received a call from someone who said they saw a flatbed truck in front of the gun store.
Once at the store, officers discovered that several firearms had been stolen and the truck was no longer in the area.
On Tuesday, police told CBS News Philadelphia that a flatbed truck was found in a nearby parking lot in the 500 block of North Dupont Highway and later towed away by investigators.
“This vehicle that’s right here in this parking lot was involved in the incident. It rammed the door of Miller’s Gun Shop the night before – then all the guns were stolen and this vehicle was in this parking lot,” said Senior Corporal Richard Chambers with the police department of New Castle County.
Anyone with information regarding this burglary is asked to contact Detective Diksa at Dakota.Diksa@newcastlede.gov or (302)395-8030. You can also submit an anonymous tip online or to the ATF.
