A Portland man was sentenced to federal prison on Sept. 17 for breaking into a local pawn shop and stealing 47 firearms from the federal firearm licensee.
Kory Dean Boyd, 39, was sentenced to 57 months in federal prison and three years’ supervised release.
According to court documents, on Jan. 31, 2022, agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives were notified of a burglary at a Southeast Portland pawn shop. Early that morning, shop owners discovered two large holes in a concrete block wall on the building’s exterior. The exposed room contained dozens of firearms, 47 of which were reported stolen, including pistols, revolvers, rifles, and shotguns.
ATF agents reviewed exterior surveillance video from the pawn shop and observed two vehicles and five individuals present near the holes in the building during the late evening and early morning hours of Jan. 29 and 30, 2022. Two individuals used a sledgehammer to make holes in the exterior wall while Boyd and others carried firearms and firearm cases to the vehicles.
