Teens Crashed Stolen Car Through Gun Store In Millersville Burglary, Police Say
MILLERSVILLE, Md. (WJZ) -- Three teenagers were arrested early Wednesday morning after allegedly crashing a stolen car into a Millersville gun store to rob the store, Anne Arundel County Police said.
Officers responded around 3:30 a.m. to Worth A Shot on Veterans Highway for a burglary alarm. The first officer on the scene saw that a car had crashed through the business, then he saw the three people inside trying to take firearms from display cases, police said.
That officer was able to arrest one suspect, and the other two fled. They were found and arrested a short distance away when more officers arrived, police said.
The teenagers were identified as a 15-year-old from Clinton, a 16-year-old from College Park and a 16-year-old from Laurel. The 15-year-old was allegedly armed with a loaded handgun.
The car used to crash through the business was reported stolen in an armed carjacking just hours before the burglary, police said.
An investigation is ongoing. Anyone with more information is asked to call 410-222-4700.
