NEW CASTLE, Del. – The investigation into a gun store burglary continues as New Castle police locate a truck in connection to the brazen crime, and suspects remain on the loose.
Millers Gun Center on West Jackson Avenue became the target of thieves when several firearms were stolen early Monday morning.
A witness told 911 that a flatbed truck slammed into the front door of the store while officers were en route to the scene.
They arrived to find the store had been broken into, several firearms had been taken, and the truck was gone.
On Tuesday morning, police say they found the truck behind a business on the 500 block of North Dupont Highway.
