Yes, I'm being sarcastic. Look at the description of what the perps were wearing. Could that be ANY more stereotype-for-real?
I seriously wonder if some ultra-leftists recently emigrated from MA will write in to complain that it's "profiling".
Hopefully, they'll catch the gangsta slimes. That shop's owner was killed in a hunting accident a few years ago, the people there work really hard. Though I do think they might make themselves more of a target by specializing in Hi-point in the pistol department...
More than 20 handguns, worth about $8,, were stolen in a burglary of a Manchester taxidermy and sports shop early yesterday morning.
A burglar alarm at 1:10 a.m. alerted police to the break-in at Wildlife Taxidermy and Sports Center, 2188 Candia Road at the Massabesic traffic circle.
The burglars, who shattered glass in two doors to enter the store, were captured on video surveillance. Inside, police said several glass display cases were shattered and the guns, of various makes and models. were removed.
Both burglars were described as about 5-foot-8 with thin builds.
One man was masked and wore a black hooded sweatshirt with yellow sections on the front and yellow stripes down the sleeves. He also wore baggy blue jeans with a white circle on the right rear pocket and black boots, gloves and mask. He carried a dark colored backpack.
The other man wore a black South Pole nylon jacket, which police recovered, over a white hooded sweatshirt. He wore black baggy jeans, black shoes with white laces and carried a black duffel bag.
Each also wore baseball caps, also recovered by police. The masked man wore a Rocca Wear cap with a Gold wing design on the front along with a gold "R."
Round stickers on top of the bill of the hat read, "Jay Approved" and "Rocca Wear Fitted Cap size 7."
The other burglar wore a New Era red, black and white Chicago Bulls cap with a "C" on the front, shaped around the image of a bull. An NBA sticker was under the bill.
This is the second time in about 3 years that guns were stolen in a burglary at the sports shop.
On Aug. 27, 2003, the store was burglarized and 19 guns stolen. Police, with the assistance of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, later charged five teenagers with the crime.
I was just there the other day. I'd say the perps got away with about 20 hi-point 45's, 380's, 9mms, and also Rossis and Charter revolvers, since that's what was in the case. And some hi-point carbines hanging out on the floor. HOPEFULLY those won't end up being used in drive-bys.
Yay.
