The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office is seeking the public’s help in identifying two suspects who stole guns from a local gun store and range.
On Thursday October 12, 2023, just after 5:30 a.m., two suspects smashed a window of the Florida Firearms Academy. The two men were able to remove a total of five long guns (shotguns and rifles) from the business. The suspects were not able to get full entry to the building thanks to burglar bars. The suspects fled then went west to a waiting vehicle on Memorial Highway.
“This is a crime that creates even more criminal activity, and we want these thieves off our streets,” said Sheriff Chad Chronister. “Not only is their thievery a problem for the business they victimized, but this grows when the weapons they stole end up in the hands of other criminals and more crime is committed.”
Detectives are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the two suspects and/or vehicle pictured in this press release. If you have any information that may help locate these individuals please call #teamHCSO at 813-247-8200.
