Video shows truck slamming into Renton gun store during robbery

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Thousands of dollars in merchandise were stolen from a Renton gun store early Wednesday morning after thieves used a truck to slam into the front of the building.

The owner of Pantel Tactical told KOMO News he was alerted to the robbery when motion sensors in the business triggered the alarm system. The owner, who did not want to be identified, said he was able to watch the robbery from home and called 911 around 3:15 a.m.

Surveillance video from the store shared with KOMO News shows two trucks drive up to the store, then one of the trucks can be seen backing up and slamming into the front of the building multiple times. Two men wearing face masks can then be seen running into the store, grabbing as much as possible and then taking off.

1. This is a common tactic in Memphis

Target, gas stations (for lottery tickets), liquor stores, car dealers...

Of course, the vehicle used is always stolen.



Glad they didn't get any guns!

I sure hope they're caught!

2. Unfortunately, the store owner, merchant of death,probably was well insured.
