Stolen vehicle used as battering ram to rob Orangevale firearms store

(FOX40.COM) — Just one day after 50 firearms were stolen from a Placer County firearms store, a Sacramento County firearms store was vandalized and robbed, according to the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office.

Before 3:45 a.m. on Tuesday, a firearms store on Greenback Lane in Orangevale had the front of its store broken down with a vehicle and around 25 firearms stolen.

The owner of the store witnessed the break-in remotely from live video provided by cameras inside the store.

When deputies and officers from the Folsom and Citrus Heights police departments arrived at the shopping center, they found an empty vehicle outside the store and that all the suspects had fled.

Detectives found that the gray Kia SUV used to break down the store’s front had been stolen earlier that day from Fair Oaks but had not been reported.
