This isn’t the first time Dominion Defense has dealt with a break in.
SPRINGFIELD, Va. — Police in Fairfax County are investigating after a gun shop was damaged in a break in and multiple guns were stolen. Police say two suspects were arrested a short time later in Montgomery County, Maryland.
According to a spokesperson for the department, officers were called to the shop at 7200 Fullerton Road around 1:30 a.m. for the report of a burglary. When officers got to the scene, they found the front gate smashed in, and windows damaged.
The spokesperson said “multiple suspects” broke into the store, stole guns and left in a vehicle. Montgomery County Police in Maryland stopped the wanted vehicle and took two people into custody. It’s not clear where the vehicle was stopped, or what charges the two suspects are facing. It’s also unclear if they are searching for more suspects beyond the two already in custody.
Police did not say how many guns were stolen in the break in.
This is not the first time Dominion Defense has dealt with stolen guns.
In May of 2023, a group stole more than 50 guns from the shop. Several people were arrested and two people were sentenced to nine years in prison for the crime, which was caught on camera at the time.
