The Sarasota Police Department is looking for some help locating the people responsible for breaking into the Bullet Hole gun shop two times around Christmas and leaving more than $1,000 damage behind.
The incidents at the 330 S. Orange Ave. business are said to have taken place first on Dec. 23 and then on Dec. 25 sometime after 7 p.m.
When officers went to the bullet Hole Dec. 23, they found a center window on the north side of the business had been nearly broken out. Damage in that incident is estimated at $1,000.

Police responded again on Dec. 25 and found a side window broken. The glass, an email to media from the department stated, was still technically intact, but it had a spider web of cracks. Another nearby window was also tampered with.
Owners told police they believe the suspects are juveniles who went into the business around 3:30 p.m. on Dec. 23 and were asked to leave since they had no adults with them.
