A break-in at a Tucson gun store early Monday prompted a big police call-out.
The Tucson Police Department’s SWAT team was outside Elite Guns and Ammo, 150 S. Camino Seco, after an early morning break-in.
Aaron Herman, the owner of Elite Guns and Ammo, 150 S. Camino Seco, said he called police after security cameras notified him of intruders. Three or four men broke into the shop, driving an SUV through the door, he said.
“They stole a car and a truck. The stolen car is still on site,” Herman said.
Police spent most of the morning at the center housing the gun store and other businesses, closing a portion of the street to traffic.
