Four kids, between the ages of 12 and 15 years old, are responsible for breaking into Allegheny Arms, according to Channel 11 sources. Two of those kids were taken into custody in McKees Rocks, and are facing gun charges. They were able to break in, and sources say – stole at least 55 guns in a matter of minutes. ATF officials say the group used hatchets and guns to make their way through the armored glass. Sources say, that after tracking down their locations in McKees Rocks, Sheraden, and Perry South, investigators got 10 guns back — and they’re still looking for the rest. Sources tell Channel 11 that this gun shop has been targeted before. Just last summer, there was a similar break-in — where young teenagers used a brick to shatter the window, but were scared off. They called Uber for a ride, but instead were taken into custody by Bethel Park police.
