'Numerous Guns' Stolen in Peninsula Gun Store Burglary: Police

SAN CARLOS, CA- San Mateo County sheriff's officials are looking for three people who raided a local gun store in a recent burglary, the agency said Tuesday.

According to Det. Salvador Zuno, the incident happened Sunday at around 5:20 a.m. at the Imbert and Smithers gun store at 1144 El Camino Real in San Carlos.

"Deputies arrived on scene within two minutes of being dispatched," the detective said in a news release. "Upon their arrival they found the front of store had been smashed in by a vehicle."

Zuno says that "numerous guns were stolen" after three suspects– who were spotted on surveillance footage wearing masks, gloves and hoodies– jumped out of a black four-door sedan, just after they smashed that vehicle through the front entrance.

After the trio grabbed the weapons, they jumped back into the sedan and fled, according to Zuno.

Anyone who has information related to this case was asked to call Det. Andy Armando at (650) 363-4347 or e-mail him at Aarmando@smcgov.org. You can also phone in anonymous tips to 1-800-547-2700.
