Thieves Break Into Houston Gun Store

Post by WildBill »

HOUSTON—Seven armed thieves burst into a gun store and stole everything they could get their hands on.
It happened early Friday morning at the SOG Armory Inc located in the 11700 block of the South Sam Houston Parkway West.
The thieves ripped open drawers, stole money from the register, swiped weapons, and even managed to snag a safe bolted to the floor.

At one point in the video, a suspect is looking out the front door and slowly turns to the camera. You can make out part of his face and eyes.
The smash-and-grab is over in about three minutes, but one thief does stumble with the heavy safe on the way out.
Kinsler noticed in the video that the suspects came in with K-47s and M-16s but could have left with a whole lot more.

Sounds like it could be an inside job. I hope who ever they are they are caught soon

I don't know. The article mentioned that they were moving to a new location.

Wow - that could have been ugly had a business owner or LEO rolled up on that with that many armed suspects. They were organized and knew what they wanted. This will be an interesting story as it develops. I hope it doesn't create copy cats.

No way this would have went well if an LEO showed up. Hard to defend yourself against a gang armed with semi-automatic rifles. That's a lot of firepower to deal with from an uncovered position and I don't believe LEO cars are hardened. These creatures are going to kill some people before this is over.
