Thieves robbed an Easton ammunition store, making off with 10 guns early this morning.
Police said the Zero Hour Arms gun store on Renker Drive was broken into shortly after 5 a.m.
Authorities said the bandits attached chains to security bars outside the window and used a four-wheel drive vehicle to separate it from the building.
The thieves then reached into the store and stole the 10 weapons, including handguns and shotguns.
"The bars on the inside of the window were separated enough that they were able to reach through enough of a gap and steal the guns," said Deputy Chief Allen Krajcik of the Easton Police. "The thieves did not proceed to go any further."
Krajcik said the store has security cameras only inside the facility. "Because they didn't enter the building, they are not on the security footage," said Krajcik.
The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives is also involved in the investigation.
