Well that really sucks. Nice neighborhood that's not in the boonies. It's too bad none of the neighbors saw anything. But clearly the burglars were watching the place and waiting for the homeowners to leave for a while.
I hope they can get them back but I highly doubt it. Also curious to know what type of "gun safe" the owners had i.e. gun cabinet or an actual safe.
Thieves crack gun safe, steal multiple firearms
"Gloucester police are investigating a burglary in which one or more intruders allegedly stole a cache of firearms from a locked gun safe in a home last week.
Police Chief John McCarthy said Monday that detectives are looking into the apparent early-morning Friday break into a house on Juniper Road, located off Apple Street in the Wheeler's Point neighborhood. According to an online post by a family member of the victim, the thieves also made off with jewelry and computer equipment. But McCarthy said the stolen firearms are of special concern to police.
"We're always concern whenever firearms get out," McCarthy said, adding that all of the reportedly stolen guns were registered.
According to the online post, the missing weapons were a Sig 9-millimeter handgun, a Bushmaster AR rifle, a GSG 522, a Walther 22, a lever-action .45 long Colt, and Colt single-action copy in .45 long Colt.
McCarthy said the owners of the single-family ranch were not at home of the time of the break, but they had the guns safety stored and properly secured in a safe.
"The gun safe itself was broken into," McCarthy said.
Massachusetts State Police also responded to the scene and are investigating as well, McCarthy said.
Anyone with information on the break is encouraged to call the Police Department business line at 978-283-1212."
