PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Investigators are asking for the public’s help in identifying four people suspected of breaking into a South Jersey gun shop early Monday morning and stealing several firearms and ammunition.
Surveillance video shows four suspects breaking into Urban Tactical Firearms on Route 70 in Marlton, New Jersey, around 2:30 a.m. Monday, when the store’s burglar alarm went off and alerted police.
"The front door of the business was smashed out," said Evesham Police Chief Walt Miller, speaking to KYW's news partners at NBC 10. "They went to the front door. They first attempted to use a hammer to break the door. That was ineffective. They used a landscaping rock that they brought with them to smash out the front glass window."
The four suspects — dressed in black, with faces covered — broke in early Monday morning, around 2:30, say police. They arrived and left in a white Hyundai sedan, which police say may be a stolen car.
“The biggest concern now is that it looks like they went to that business for the sole purpose of breaking into the business,” Miller said.
This investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information about the crime or the identities of the suspects is encouraged to contact the Evesham Police Department at 856-983-1116, leave a confidential tip at 856-983-4699, or email KennedyS@eveshampd.org.
