    Another Smash & Grab: ‘Catch Them … Get The Guns Back’

    http://denver.cbslocal.com/2017/05/24/triple-j-armory-smash-grab

    Exasperated owners of the Triple J Armory boarded up their entrance after yet another smash-and-grab at their Littleton gun store.

    “We hope they get them this time. This does need to stop. It’s out of hand,” fellow shop owner Tom Hassell told CBS4’s Tom Mustin.

    For the third time since June criminals slammed a vehicle into the store to try and steal guns.

    Around 2 a.m. Wednesday a stolen Jeep plowed into the building, bowling over a security pole built after another burglary, and smashing through glass and a metal security fence.

    “Four suspects entered the store, were able to get into some of the areas where the guns were stored, and made off with some firearms,” said Cmdr. Trent Cooper with the Littleton Police Department.

    The criminals grabbed several weapons, and then escaped in another vehicle before police arrived. Along with the break-in last June, criminals also tried to ram a car into the store last November. That attempt was thwarted by concrete poles placed there by the owners. One of those poles was destroyed in Wednesday’s burglary.

    Gun store smash-and-grab burglaries are on the rise nationwide.

    This is maybe 2 miles east of that officer involved shooting last week that I posted video of, it's on the same road that the shooting occurred on.

    That would be a Smash & Grab Burglary.

    Smash & Grab Robberies are a real thing, typically at jewelry stores, but thats not what's happening here.

    Is this gun store off the beaten path? There are some mighty brazen thieves in Colorado. Do you think it could be the same perps doing it every time?

    There were two other gun stores within a few miles of my home that got hit like this last summer. The one in this article is in a busy shopping center, but after 9pm when the last store closes it's desolate. There aren't any houses around and it's off the street enough that you can't really see the store fronts from the road. It's also right next to a ramp for CO-470, which is kind of like the Denver beltway. Also, just a few miles from here on 470 is I-25, so in ten minutes the burglars (I used the right term Bigfoot44!) could have been far away and in 3 or 4 different counties.
