Federal authorities have charged two men in connection with the burglary of a New Kensington gun store last week.
Steyn Sarduy, 18, no address available, confessed to the break-in, according to the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Authorities identified the second suspect as Michael Guin, 26, who had been living in an apartment on Harrison’s Village Green Drive. Both are charged with federal firearms violations.
Guin and Sarduy used a pickup truck to smash through the door of RC Firearms on Freeport Street on Jan. 22, investigators say. The truck was reported stolen about a half-hour before the burglary from a New Kensington business where Guin had previously worked, the complaint said.
Two dozen guns were stolen from the New Kensington gun store. Authorities said Guin and Sarduy split the weapons evenly between them.
Two of the guns were recovered during a traffic stop in Homestead in which four others were arrested, an ATF spokesman said.
Roy Berg, who owns RC Firearms with his son, Cole, said Wednesday he was confident the burglars would be caught.
