Investigator: ‘Intentional method’ in recent gun thefts

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — The Kent County Sheriff’s Department says the burglary of nearly 90 guns from a store in Cedar Springs is the largest such theft in years.

“This is the largest number that I’ve seen at one time,” Sgt. Joel Roon told 24 Hour News 8.

Of the 89 guns stolen from Family Farm & Home early Saturday, 76 remained unaccounted for Monday.

The break-in was the latest in rash of gun thefts in Kent County. In September, 13 guns were stolen from the Cabela’s in Grandville. Shortly thereafter, another 20 were taken from Barracks 616 in Cascade Township. Five of those guns were later recovered. Federal authorities are offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the recovery of the 28 guns still on the streets.
