Thousands of dollars in merchandise were stolen from a Renton gun store early Wednesday morning after thieves used a truck to slam into the front of the building.

The owner of Pantel Tactical told KOMO News he was alerted to the burglary when motion sensors in the business triggered the alarm system. The owner, who did not want to be identified, said he was able to watch the burglary from home and called 911 around 3:15 a.m.

Officers with the Renton Police Department responded to the gun store, located on 116th Avenue Southeast in the Cascade Village shopping center, within 3 minutes of the 911 call.

Surveillance video from the store shared with KOMO News shows two trucks drive up to the store, then one of the trucks can be seen backing up and slamming into the front of the building multiple times. Two men wearing face masks can then be seen running into the store, grabbing as much as possible and then taking off.

The owner said around $4,000 or $5,000 in merchandise was stolen from the business, including ammo, pepper spray, night vision goggles and 10-round magazines. However, no guns or cash were stolen.
