Chesterfield Police are working with State Police and federal Alcohol, Firearm and Tobacco agents on what they’re calling a “priority situation†-- armed robbery suspects on the run with at least 100 stolen guns.
A man wearing a mask walked into a gun shop on Hull Street near Courthouse Road. Police say that just before 8:30 this morning, he presented a gun and ordered the sole employee to the floor.
Police say they found glass cases that were smashed and a large volume of firearms taken from Bob Moates Gun Shop. Even before an inventory could be taken of what was stolen, officers alerted area police departments that witnesses had seen four suspects fleeing the scene with what police say are at least 100 stolen guns.
Captain Paige Foster of Chesterfield Police says that the items include handguns and as many as four AR-15’s, which are similar to M-16’s.
Officers say there is a serious safety issue when it comes to police officers who could inadvertently pull over the suspects and not be aware of the situation. Police also are concerned about where these guns could end up. They may be sold locally, but more than likely, the suspects’ goal would be to pass them out of state.
Police are asking for the public’s help. They are looking for four black males who were wearing dark clothing and gloves. They were last seen driving a gold or tan colored, older model Nissan Sentra.
Local police are working the case with the Virginia State Police and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
If you have any information, please call Chesterfield Police at 748-1251 or Crime Solvers at 748-0660.
