NEW KENSINGTON, Pa. (KDKA) – A Westmoreland County gun shop reopened Saturday after suspects burglarized it last month, during its first year in business. The investigation continues with the search for the stolen guns, but the owners are happy to be moving forward.
RC Firearms opened its doors to customers once again after days of clean-up from a burglary.
During the early morning of Jan. 22, owners Roy and Cole Berg got a call from their security company that someone had broken into their business off Freeport Street in New Kensington.
“It was disbelief,” Roy said. “I had no words at the time.”
Agents with the ATF charged Michael Guin and Steyn Sarduy in the incident, which was captured on surveillance cameras. The ATF said they used a stolen pickup truck to ram through the front door and, once inside, busted into multiple glass display cases with a hammer, grabbed 24 guns, and stuffed them into a backpack.
Roy is relieved investigators caught the suspects, but to prevent it from happening again, they installed barriers outside and new cameras and motion sensors.
