MILLVILLE, Minn. — Authorities in Wabasha County of southeastern Minnesota are investigating a gun shop burglary in which 60 to 80 firearms were stolen.
Keith Stones, owner of the Millville Gun and Rod Shop, says the thieves struck around 4 a.m. Friday. He estimates the missing guns were worth $40,000.
Stones says his surveillance video shows the thieves bursting in through the front door, then ransacking the shop. He says the three thieves were inside for only a minute.
