When the owner returned home, he noticed his door had been broken down, and there was smoke damage inside. Police say the homeowner is a gunsmith and several of the guns belonged to his customers. the rest were his own.
"He's still getting a list of everything, what exactly is missing and how much each gun is worth. {...} This is the first one that we've had with that many guns taken. There's usually one or two guns, and with that quantity. This is the first time in a long time that we've had that quantity taken," said Captain Duckworth.
