“Yeah, calling out names. For a while, nobody was coming out. Eventually, four young adults come out,” Justin Wilson said.
Those four young adults were all teenagers and detained at the scene.
As reported on News Center 7 at 5:00, Kettering Police said they discovered a stolen car at the home, as well as two weapons. They said one was a gun stolen from AC Firearms in Kettering last week.
As News Center 7 previously reported, AC Firearms in Kettering was broken into last Thursday. Surveillance video from the store showed three suspects breaking in and stealing 14 guns.
“A lot of them were long rifles, a couple of shotguns, automatics,” Sgt. Vince Mason, of Kettering Police, said.
Mason told News Center 7 that one of the four young men detained at Livingston Avenue is believed to have been one of the three people caught on surveillance video breaking into the store.
As previously reported, police also surrounded a home on Hollencamp Avenue in Dayton last Friday. There, they found another one of the three people believed to be inside the store and two guns believed to be stolen from there.
“It’s not their first time interacting with law enforcement,” Mason said. “Based on my interviews with them, they have no regard for law enforcement.”
Police now have 11 more guns stolen from AC Firearms to recover and one more 17-year-old to track down.
