Arrests made in gun shop robbery

Police say they caught up with the four men who robbed a Glendale gun shop after the teens tried breaking into another place in Phoenix.

More than a dozen firearms were taken when the Lone Wolf Gun Store was robbed on Halloween.

While Glendale detectives from the property-crimes department were receiving information from the public, just days later, Phoenix detectives informed them of a separate burglary in Phoenix. That's when police were able to locate the suspects and link the two crimes.

" A few days later, a burglary was taking place in the city of Phoenix when that resident came out and interrupted those burglars he had a weapon and gunfire was exchanged between that homeowner as well as the supsects," said Michael Pena with the Glendale Police Department.

The homeowner in the Phoenix case actually shot one of the suspects and police were able to arrest the teens.

Twenty-one weapons were recovered out of the 38 that were stolen.

Federal prosecutors will be handling the case.

The suspect who was shot is expected to be OK.
