In wake of gun theft epidemic, dealers examine security

CASCADE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — This fall, gun thieves have hit stores throughout West Michigan, dozens of which remain unaccounted for.

The stores where the guns are sold are legitimate and regulated, but since September more than 100 guns, including 76 this weekend, are now illegal firearms presumably in the hands of criminals.

“The thought that there could be 76 vehicles with guns in them that weren’t there before is just so concerning,” said Kent County Sheriff’s Department Sgt. Joel Roon.

In September, 13 guns were stolen from the Cabela’s in Grandville with some of the same group of teens stealing 20 guns from Barracks 616 in Cascade Township.
