At the sound of a passing vehicle, both young men moved quickly away from the building and the one suspect placed the gun back into his pocket. Within minutes they were joined by two more subjects and they proceeded to leave the area walking west along McIver Avenue.

Police were alerted and found the door to the shop damaged and contacted owner Bill Krall who discovered that another door had been forced open and nearly a dozen guns and rifles missing.

The witnesses were able to provide identification of the two suspects and within the hour three of the four were in custody.
