Thieves use stolen vehicles to ram gun stores, steal weapons
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Police in Georgia are investigating two cases of stolen vehicles being rammed into gun stores, with thieves then making off with weapons.
Athens-Clarke County police are trying to determine whether the most recent robbery last weekend is related to one two weeks ago in Loganville.
The Athens Banner-Herald reports that the latest smash-and-grab happened early Sunday morning. A Jeep Grand Cherokee crashed through the front door of the Athens Gun Club.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Surveillance video shows the Jeep's driver being joined by four accomplices who loot the shop of an undisclosed number of guns. All five suspects left in a separate getaway vehicle.
A stolen car was also used in the earlier robbery to smash into 3X Firearms in Loganville. A separate getaway vehicle was used in that crime as well.
