Clarksville, TN – Clarksville Police patrol officers arrived at a South Riverside Drive gun store less than six minutes after a burglar alarm activation on Christmas morning, but a trio of smash-and-grab thieves had already fled the scene with thirty-one stolen firearms.
Upon finding that the front door of Double Tap Tactical had been smashed, officers tactically cleared the building at 3:16am and discovered that several display cases had also been smashed and emptied.
Store security video shows three individuals in ‘hoodies’ smashing the glass front door and the display cases with hammers before filling several bags with firearms from the cases.
The thieves stole twenty-five semi-automatic pistols, three revolvers, and three rifles. The brand names included Glock, Smith & Wesson, Ruger, Walther, Taurus, Sig-Sauer, and several others.
Detectives are following several leads; the ATF is also working this case.
