Ventura County deputy sheriffs are searching for the suspects who burglarized a gun store in Camarillo early Monday morning, using a car to smash the store's glass front door to gain entry.

The sheriff's department got the call around 4:20 a.m. of a car into Camarillo Gun Store on Ventura Boulevard.

Senerey De Los Santos with the Ventura County Sheriff's Office said a stolen Blue Kia was used to back into the store and at least four to five masked suspects then went inside.

She said two to three cases containing guns were smashed and several weapons were taken, however no ammunition or cash were stolen. Owners of the store were doing inventory Monday morning to determine exactly which guns were stolen and how many.

The suspects then fled in a second vehicle, a silver sedan.

"We haven't had an incident like this in quite some time, so yeah this is a little bit shocking," De Los Santos said. She said detectives are currently going over surveillance footage to aid in the investigation.
