The burglary happened at Miller's Gun Center on West Jackson Avenue in New Castle just before 2 a.m. Monday, according to the police. The boy's identity is not known. The police in New Castle County are looking for several burglars who used a stolen truck to break into a gun store and take some guns. The burglary took place at Miller's Gun Center on West Jackson Avenue in New Castle just before 2 a.m. Monday, as stated by the police in a news release. The owner of the store, Bob Miller, called the burglary attempt "absolutely brazen." The police were alerted to the burglary by an alarm at Miller's Gun Center. They got a tip from someone who saw a truck back into the front of the store. The owner, Bob Miller, mentioned that the truck hit the building with a lot of force. When the officers arrived at the store, they discovered that several firearms had been stolen, and the truck was gone. Although the investigators did not disclose the number of guns taken, Bob Miller confirmed that only handguns were stolen, even though the store mainly stocked long guns. The worry now is that these stolen guns might end up in the wrong hands, posing a threat to public safety. On Tuesday, the police informed CBS News Philadelphia that a flatbed truck involved in the burglary was found in a nearby parking lot on North Dupont Highway. The truck had rammed into the door of Miller's Gun Shop the previous night when the weapons were stolen. Senior Corporal Richard Chambers from the New Castle County Division of Police mentioned that the truck was located in the parking lot. Bob Miller expressed his satisfaction with the swift response of law enforcement to the incident at his family's store, which has been in business for 65 years.
