Police say break-ins at three metro Grand Rapids gun shops over the weekend are believed to be connected to the burglary at the Cabela’s in Grandville a week earlier — and they think teens are responsible.
“I can’t think of a more combustible combination than guns and young people,” Grand Rapids Police Department Chief David Rahinsky said. “It’s a tragedy waiting to happen.”
About a dozen guns were stolen from Cabela’s on Sept. 16. Five have since been recovered. And though police arrested four teens in connection to the burglary, there were three more smash-and-grabs at gun shops on Saturday and Sunday. Security measures at Rylee’s Ace Hardware on Michigan Street NE and Bachelder Master Gunmakers on Plymouth Avenue NE stymied the thieves, but they made off with about 20 guns from Barracks 616 in Cascade Township.
