Large Guns, 500 Rounds of Ammunition Stolen

Описание: DAYTON -- Dayton police are investigating a burglary in the 100 block of South Smithville where 7 firearms were stolen.

Police were called to the house on Wednesday after a homeowner discovered his back door was kicked in and several things were missing.

The victim told police he had seven firearms stolen that included: .22 caliber old wood gran rifle, a couple AR rifles, a Mossberg shotgun and several 9 mm handguns.

Those brands include a Smith and Wesson, Taurus and Mossberg.

More than 500 rounds of ammunition were also found missing.

A police report says a deadbolt was locked and the frame of the door was destroyed to get inside.

It went on to say that the firearms were taken out of both bedrooms.

Police Sergeant Moises Perez says police were alerted of the stolen guns yesterday.

He says the guns will most likely tried to be sold on the black market, "they don't care who they sell it too. It could be the biggest criminal and the reason he wants to buy it off the streets is because he can't buy it legitimately."

Perez wants to remind homeowners to take every safety measure, "getting a gun safe. That would be the first thing, which is very heavy. It has a good locking system and would deter this type of crime."
